Valentines Day - Photoshop Style
Feb 13th inDe s i gni ng by Constantin Potorac

A few days ago, I decided to make a special present for my girlfriend. I also thought this technique could be used by others that have the same plan, so here it goes. I will teach you some nice techniques that could improve your experience and also help you make a great gift.

I am a freelance designer living in Romania. I discovered the beauty of design a few years ago. Since then
I have dedicated my time to becoming a great designer (work in progress)!
Step 1
First of all, create a new document and fill it with black.

Step 2
Now import your 3D text and position it as you want. For making this text, I used Xara 3D. It is a very
simple program that you can use. Next add some shadows to each letter.

Step 3
The thing I want to achieve here is to make some kind of colorful clouds behind the text. This technique is
also known as "nebula," so it is most likely that you will know about this effect.
To do this we will use the Brush Tool first with a Hardness set to 0%. Make a new layer, and chose a blue
color and paint behind the text.
