Hi. This is Marty from Blue Lightning TV.
I'm going to show you how to create a powerful, widescreen movie title.
Before we begin, if you're not a subscriber to my channel, hit that small "Subscribe"
button at the lower, right corner or in my video's description below.
I provided a Photoshop template that you can download, so you can follow along.
its link is in my video's description or project files.
It includes 3 layers: storm clouds, a rock wall and a frame that confines our movie title
design to the 2.35: 1 aspect ratio of widescreen cinemas.
Click the eyeball icon next to the rock wall to temporarily hide the layer.
Click the storm clouds layer to make it active.
We'll place our text above it.
Open your Horizontal Type Tool and your list of fonts.
I'm using a font called, "OptimusPriceps Regular".
If you'd like to use it, I provided its link, as well.
I'll make its size small enough to see temporarily, knowing that I'll be enlarging it once I type out my text.
The anti-aliasing is "Sharp" and "Center Alignment".
If your color box isn't white, click it and when the Color Picker window opens, pick white.
Click on your document and type out your text.
To enlarge it, highlight the entire line and place your cursor over the size icon and drag it to the right.
To add a second line of text, click to the right of the last character and press Enter
or Return to place your cursor below the top line and then type out your text.
To adjust its size, repeat the steps.
To raise or lower the second line, click the Character/Paragraph icon to open he Character
panel or go to Window and Character.
Drag the "Baseline Shift" icon to the left or right to lower or raise the line.
To adjust the space between two characters, click between those characters and press and
hold Alt or Option + the left or right key on your keyboard.
To adjust the space between ALL of your characters, highlight the line and repeat the same keystrokes.
To center your entire block of text, open your Move Tool and press Ctrl or Cmd + A to select your document.
Click the "Align Horizontal Centers" icon and "Align Vertical Centers" icon.
Press Ctrl or Cmd + D to deselect it.
To raise or lower your text, press the Up or Down arrow key.
We can close the Character/Paragraph panels now.
Double-click an empty area of the text layer to open its Layer Style window.
Click, "Bevel & Emboss".
The Style is "Inner Bevel", the Technique is "Chisel Hard" and the Depth is 400%.
The Direction is Down, the Size is 120 pixels and Soften it 0 pixels.
The Angle and the Altitude are both 30 degrees and the Gloss Contour is "Linear".
The Highlight and Shadow modes are both "Normal" and their Opacities are 100%.
Next,we're going to blend our text into the clouds.
Click "Blending Options".
We'll use the "Blend If" feature to achieve this.
Let's move the Layer Style window to a corner, so we can see as much of our text as possible,
while still seeing the "Blend If" section.
Basically, "Blend If" uses Luminosity to blend layers together.
The skiler bar that's labeled "This Layer" is the active layer, which is our text.
The slider bar that's labeled, "Underlying Layer" is the layer below the active layer, which is the clouds.
In this case, we want the white pixels of the clouds to gradually cover our text,
so we'll use the Underlying Layer to do this.
The right slider controls the lightest luminosity of the clouds,
while the left slider controls its darkest luminosity.
Since we want to bring through the lightest areas of the clouds, drag the white underlying slider to the left.
It essentially cuts off all the pixels from 255, which is pure white, to the point where we move the slider to.
To create a smooth transition, Alt-click or Option-click the middle of the icon.
This splits the icon in half.
Drag the left half to the left.
The further you drag it, the smoother the transition is.
Feel free to play with the sliders to the amount of transition you like.
Make the "Rock Wall" texture visible and active.
We'll fill out text with this texture.
To do this, make the texture into a clipping mask by pressing Alt +Ctrl +G on Windows
or Option +Cmad +G on a Mac.
or by going to Layer and "Create Clipping Mask".
We'll make the darker areas of the texture stronger by clicking the Adjustment Layer icon
and clicking "Levels".
Clip it to the text by repeating the hot keys
or by clicking the Clipping Mask icon.
For the Input Shadow, type in 130.
Lastly, we'll add a subtle, blue/gray tint to our image.
Click the Adjustment Layer icon again and this time, click Hue/Saturation.
Check, "Colorize".
For the Hue, type in 189
and for the Saturation, type in 12.
This is Marty from Blue Lightning TV. Thanks for watching!
