Tutorial written by Nemesis



For this tutorial you will need:
Psp 7

These gradients...
Gold gradient
Blue gradient

And the following tube...
Bat tube

and this tube...
Flare tube

and (yet again) this font...
quiggly wiggly font


Or of course any tube or font you'd like to use.
Install the font, the tubes and import the gradients.

Open up a new image with a transparent background size 500*400

Select the text tool set: font size to 100, stroke and fill to white, tick floating and antialias.
The text will come up floating on you image. Go to styles and find the gold gradient.



Use the flood fill tool and fill the whole text.
Now go to effects/ 3d effects/ inner bevel and apply the following ...



Go to layers / new raster layer. Select the text tool again.
But this time make sure that you set the stroke to null.



This time find the blue gradient and fill the text.
Apply the inner bevel with the same settings as last time.
Use the mover tool to move the blue text over the gold.
Then go to layers/ merge/ merge visible.
You should now have something similar to this image...



Now the text part is done.
Add a new raster layer. Find the bat tube and add a bat size 65.
Add a new raster layer again and a bat size 40.
Place the layer with the big bat at the bottom, the text layer in the middle,
and the small bat at the top.



When you are satisfied with the placement of the tubes and text go to
Layers/ merge/ merge visible.
Now find the flare tube and add the flare size 50, where you want it.

Duplicate your layer (layers/ duplicate).
Go to effects/ texture effects/ mosaic - glass add with these settings...



Go to effects/ blur/ motion blur. Add with angle 358 and 40 pixels.
Duplicate this layer.Now move the picture layer up to the top.



Once again go to layers/ merge /merge visible.
Save as .jpg and you are done!
Hope you had fun!
Happy psp.ing :0P
