Type Mask / BG Filter


In this design I created, I used the layer clipping mask option to give the text a gold texture, along with some other visual effects. I used a mask on the text layer to budge-in areas with "nails" to give it an even more 3D effect. My steps in creating this:

  • Created document
  • Added text layer
    • Chose font
    • Made the text bold
  • Made background black (temp)
  • Found gold texture image
  • Created clipping mask with gold texture + text layer
  • Added additional layer styles
    • Bevel & Emboss
    • Inner Shadow
    • Gradient
    • Drop Shadow
    • Color Overlay
  • Added mask to text layer
  • Removed areas of layer; replaced them with "nails"
  • Found "wooden-board" background image
  • Recreated contrast with Levels options (Ctrl + L)
  • Added custom shadows to text layer
  • Added filter to background: Lens Flare
  • Created extra glow layer using radial gradient tool
  • Created "shine" with custom brushes
  • Added Veelocity logo
  • Smiled and saved the file for the last time (for now)
