Baby
Blue 3D Text


There's so many different things you can do with this,  I finally settled on
one to show you. We're going to make some clean 3D text with some of the built in effects in
Photoshop 5!As with most
tutorials, the values need to be a little different depending on the size of
the text you're going to use. Try getting your font size closest to my font for
your first try. I used Franklin Gothic Bold.







Fill Background with
Baby Blue. Use the Type Tool and make some text ( fat
text works good like a real baby butt! ), choose white for color and click OK.Now select "Overlay" from the
layer pop down menu.








Next go to  Layer
> Effects > Drop Shadow. Copy the settings I have shown on the left, Also
make sure you choose a dark blue shadow color like you see on my menu.
 








Hold down the
Control key, while its down, click on the type layer.  Now Select>Modify>Expand
Enter 2 pixels.Ok press the "M" key. Move the selection 1 pixel
to the right and 1 pixel down with the arrow keys on the keyboard.
Edit > Copy Merged,
Now make the Type layer Invisible by clicking on the "eye". Ok now paste: Edit>Paste.








Make a regular
drop shadow behind the text to pop it out a little, use the Photoshop Effects again to do
it fast.Use
Brightness/Contrast,  I added about 40+ Brightness to freshen it up a little.
