PS use layer style to make transparent candy word

The author's candy word making method is very practical, thinking: first from the font, choose a more rounded font, text a little bit larger; then copy the text one layer, the bottom of the text with the layer style to make a preliminary texture, texture, color and so on. Copy text to set the fill to 0, and then use the layer style to increase the texture of the text and so on.

Final effect

1, open PS, create a new 800px high 600px of the document, if only for Web page browsing without printing the resolution is set to 72.

2, you can fill the background blue background. In fact, the background color is just for the next need to create text. Click here to download the font and pattern footage (used in the layer style behind the pattern footage). At this point, you can use bubblegum font in the middle of the canvas to write your words, such as I wrote here "Sweet Dream", of course, this is to the occasion.

3, the two text layer to copy a layer, and then the copy layer to reduce the fill to 0. Here, we do this to add high light to the text. Let's wait until the end of the tutorial.

4, from the "sweet" start it. Apply pattern overlays to layers. By the way, let's put a twill pattern on our white text. This step is relatively simple. You can see I'm adjusting the zoom to 10%, which means that the feature can scale the pattern.

5, to the text to increase the three-dimensional sense of time, the first step from the "bevel and relief" start. You can see the "Bevel and Emboss" parameters panel, which divides the structure and shadows into two parts. Structure as the name implies is the overall three-dimensional shape, such as the depth of the object set. In the beginning of this one, you have to virtual a light source of text, so in the mind know where should be the shadow where the high light. You need to manually adjust the gloss contour to make the depth of the edge feel more layered.

6, to the "contour" of the style of the parameters, we will slightly modify the depth of the form of expression. At this point, we also need to manually set the contour curve of the contour.

7, "texture", in our pattern overlay on the basis of the use of a layer of texture, this layer of texture to the text added more subtle texture.

8, next let us apply the "inner shadow" this effect. The blending mode of the shadow in its argument panel is set to white "color Dodge", which should be in the opposite direction to the light source we set in step fifth, so that we can show a shadow. While the shadow here uses a relatively high light effect, others are created using the depth of the edges, reinforcing the sense of transparency of the overall effect.
