Magic Text using Photoshop CS5
So stumbling across YouTube I find this neon looking text with a mystical type background. After what I thought to be my computer screaming "CLICK HERE! CLICK HERE!", I decided to embark on what soon to be an epic adventure in the art of Magic Text. This outspoken link brought me to a tutorial. Now this tutorial opened the gateway of what will soon be the base and foundation of my Photoshop career and furthermore, this blog. The tutorial I found was made in Photoshop CS3 and luckily it worked in Photoshop CS4 which, at the time, was the current version of Photoshop. After learning this tutorial to the very brush stroke I began making these text effects out of personal amusement. Later I received a request from a friend to use his name in this effect and all of a sudden i'm popping out Magic Text like babies after WWII (the baby boom for those who are historically challenged...). The album posted below are some of my better work using Photoshop CS4:
So posted below, in Photoshop CS5*, is a speed painting of magic text. As I went through it with CS5 I met a lot of turbulence in my creations and had to edit the routine slightly. Using black and white where colors once were and Overlay instead of Color. Luckily for you I will be proving my own title wrong and creating a tutorial on the differences in Photoshop CS3 Magic Text vs Photoshop CS5 Magic Text. Also, as always, I added a few things of my own just to give some extra spice to my work.
*I do plan on reviewing Photoshop CS5 and explaining the newest features and major differences granted the public demands so. Please comment your feedback on the photos, videos, and idea for a review.
