Here I’m going to share with you how to create luxury golden text effect by using Photoshop CS3.

Ok, let’s start by making a new document in Photoshop. I created a new document sized 800×400 pixels. Then select some appropriate colors, for example colors of #161515, #71777b and drag a linear gradient.

After that I would like to add some pattern to the background. Create a new document with size of 4×4 pixels and draw a skew line with two dots by using Pencil Tool as on picture below.

Then use Edit > Define Pattern and save it as pattern. After that go back to your main document and apply the Pattern Overlay layer style for background layer.

The result should be next:

Ok, our background is already finished. Let’s start with creating golden text effect. Get out the Horizontal Type Tool and write out something like ‘Forever Gold’ in the middle of the canvas.

For this tutorial I used Cooper Std font, which is sadly commercial, that’s why feel free to try a different font, or you know, buy or ‘get’ a nice font from somewhere. I also applied next text character for current text line:

Press Ctrl+J to copy the layer and hide the copy under (click on the eye, which indicates layer visibility). Then apply Inner Glow and Gradient Overlay layer styles to upper layer.

The result should be next:

Go back to the hidden copy of layer and make it visible again. Then apply Color Overlay layer style to change text color from white to #94854e and move it down about 6 pixels.

After that use Layer > Layer Style > Crete Layer to separate layer style from text layer. You will get additional layer thumbnail with arrow on layers palette.

Move to this additional layer and apply Dodge Tool (Brush: 25 px, Range: Highlights, Exposure: 30%) for it. We have to bring three-dimensional effect to our lower layer.

Then reduce brush size to 10 pixels and add more smaller bright lines.

Now, change Dodge Tool to Burn Tool (Brush: 30px, Range: Highlights, Exposure: 30%) and add dark spots to our layer.

Ok, merge all the layers except background in one and apply Drop Shadow and Outer Glow layer styles for the new layer.

And the last one thing that we have to add is lens flare. For this effect create new layer and fill it with black color. Then change layer mode to Screen for this layer and apply Filter > Render > Lens Flare with similar settings to these:

We will get next effect:

We got luxury golden text effect, isn’t it? Hope u have the same or better results as mine!

• Mouse Photo

Step 1

Open file. First thing which you need to do is to unlock the background layer. To do this, double click on the “Background” layer and name it “Mouse”. Move layer a little bit upper, then create new layer under “Mouse” layer named “Background” and fill it with white color

Step 2

Now get color sample from the bottom part of mouse by using Eyedropper Tool. I got color #c3bea3.

Step 3

Select the Pen Tool (Shape layers mode) and try to create shape of falling droplets somewhere on the bottom part of mouse using the same color as we selected before.

Step 4

When our shape is done, just rasterize it with Layer > Rasterize > Shape. Then select the Burn Tool (Brush: 20px, Range: Highlights, Exposure: 40%) and make bottom parts of run a little bit darken.

Step 5

After that select the Dodge Tool (Brush: 25px, Range: Midtones, Exposure: 35%) and make small dodge work in places where the light should fall.

Step 6

Go to Layer > Layer Style and apply the following layer styles to this layer:

You should get this effect:

Step 7

Create a new layer above and merge it with previous to get all the effects in one layer. After that select the Eraser Tool and soft round brush about 50 pixels to remove visible border between current layer and mouse.

Step 8

Then select the Dodge Tool (Brush: 60px, Range: Midtones, Exposure: 10%) to remove color difference between keyboard layer and run layer.

Step 9

As we can see, keyboard surface has some noise on the surface. It means that we have to add the same texture to the run surface. Select this layer with Select > Load Selection, then create new layer and fill it with black color.

Step 10

After that remove selection with Ctrl+D and apply Filter > Noise > Add Noise with similar settings to these:

Step 11

Change layer mode to Screen and you will get the next result:

Step 1

Create a new document with size of 1920 x 1200 pixels and 72 dpi with white background.

Press D to set up foreground and background colors black and white. Go to Layer > New Layer and create a new layer called “wallpaper”.

Step 2

Now we are going to work with filters on this new layer to create our wallpaper. To start, go to Filter > Render > Clouds.

Step 3

After that apply Filter > Pixelate > Mosaic with following settings:

Step 4

Apply Filter > Blur > Radial Blur with next presets:

Step 5

Then apply Filter > Stylize > Emboss:

Step 6

After that use Filter > Brush strokes > Accented Edges:

Step 7

Now apply Filter > Stylize > Find Edges:

Step 8

And finally apply Filter > Stylize > Glowing Edges with these settings:

Step 9

The last thing that we have to do is to change color of our abstraction. For this effect use Image > Adjustments > Hue/Saturation:

Step 10

Remove sharpness a little bit by using Filter > Blur > Surface Blur:

Final Image

And that’s it. We have a wallpaper with abstraction in futuristic style.
