How does PS make artistic words?
Open Photoshop to create a new document with the size of 1920× 1200 pixels. Then fill the background with dark color #1f1e1e.

Select the background layer, delete layer > layer style > gradient overlay. Select gray (#707070) and white. The blending mode is changed to positive overlay with 60% opacity. The style is radial. Make sure white is in the middle. It can be seen that the edge of the image will be darkened after using the forward stack. Apply this gradient through the layer style, because you can add filters to the layer later, and then you can try different colors.

Now go to Filter > Noise > Add Noise. Use 2%, Gaussian distribution, and make sure you choose monochrome. Adding noise to the gradient is great because it can make the gradient more subtle.

Add text. I need calligraphy-style fonts. Here are mushrooms, which can be downloaded from. Enter kidnapping first.

Now enter "be" directly under "kidnapped". Refer to the figure below for the letter position, and try to connect the letters such as "Bs".

Enter the word "design". The connection between the end of "Y" and "D" is very important, otherwise the effect will not be good.

To make the effect more attractive, let's add some rotating patterns. This is similar to the previous pattern tutorial. But basically you have to import a schema element and put it before the "A". ShutterstocK is used. You can download it here.

Put another element at the end of "n" in "Design". I use the same elements as the previous step, but it is a little smaller.

Another pattern is connected with "Y".

Now, we have got the text with patterns and transformed them into smart objects. In this way, you can edit it at any time. Then go to floor > layer style > gradient overlay. Pink and blue, the style is straight, 90 degrees.

Select the projection after gradient superposition. Use the mixed mode of positive superposition, 120 degree angle, 5 pixel distance and 20 pixel size.

After setting the projection, select the bevel and relief. Using the inner slope style, the method is smooth and the depth is 190%. The direction is upward, the size is 6 pixels, and it is softened to 8 pixels. The settings used for the shaded part are as follows: angle 120, height 30. The highlight mode uses a color gradient and white, and the opacity is 75%. Then the shadow mode is positive superimposed black with opacity of 45%. Select an outline.

To copy the text layer, the first thing to do is to change it to 0% padding. So there will be no color, but the layer style can still work on this transparent layer. Disable gradient overlay. Use bevel and relief, change the direction to downward, and increase the depth by 370%. Size 2 pixels, softening 8 pixels. Now look at this shadow. Change the angle to 145 and the height to 25 degrees. Highlight mode is color filter, color is white, opacity is 100%, and shadow mode is 0%.

Copy the text layer again to make it more effective.

Copy the text layer again. But this time let's edit the bevel and relief. Change the softness to 1 pixel. Highlight mode uses color to brighten 70%. Shadows are also disabled.

Now let's create a pattern in the design. Create a new file 40 pixels wide and 200 pixels high.

Adjust the width of the background layer to 20 pixels. Fill the layer with a linear gradient from white to different transparent colors. Use 100% to 40% opacity gradient. Refer to the figure below.

Edit > define pattern. Name it stripes, so you have a good pattern.

Go back to the design, add a new layer and fill it with the created pattern.

Rotate the pattern layer to change its blending mode to soft light.

Command-click the text layer on the Layers panel. In this way, a text layer selection is created. This is very simple and useful. After that, go to Layer > layer mask > Show Selection. This mode will only be applied to text.

Select all text layers and copy them. Go to layers > merge layers. After that, enter the filter >; Fuzzy >; Gaussian blur. Use a radius of 10 pixels and press OK. Changing the blending mode to color filtering will add a good luminous effect to the image.

Add some lighting effects. Create a halo using saved photos, whether with a brush or a lens halo filter. The images used are downloaded here. Put the glow into the design and change the blending mode to color filtering. After that, remove the image >; Adjust > hue and saturation. Choose coloring and change the tone until you get a color that matches the tone of the text, and the bright color exceeds the color of the text.

Copy the lighting effect and move to another letter.

Repeat the halo again and move to another part of the design. Go to Image > Adjustment > Hue and Saturation again, select Coloring again, and try to set the halo color to match the text color.

Import paper texture and put it on top of other layers. The image used is Shutterstock's. You can download it here. Then change its mixing mode to positive superposition.

You can also add a space scene similar to the one below, or put it in a messy background. In addition, if you want to add more light, just copy all the layers and merge them into a new layer, or directly press command +Alt+Shift +E, and then apply Gaussian blur with a radius of 20 pixels to change the blending mode to color filtering.
