Neon Text Style Photoshop

In the world of graphic design, creating eye-catching text effects is an essential skill to master. Today, we're going to explore how to create a neon text style in Photoshop using various techniques and tools.

To start, you'll need a font that can be used for this effect. I recommend downloading a futuristic or sci-fi font from the internet. Once you have your font, open it up in Photoshop and select the text layer.

Next, we're going to add some color to our text using the Hue/Saturation adjustment layer. This will give our text a neon-like glow. To do this, create a new layer and set its blending mode to 'Overlay.' Then, use the brush tool to paint over the text with a bright, vibrant color.

To enhance the neon effect, we're going to add some bevel and embossing to our text. Select the text layer and go to Layer > Bevel and Emboss. Apply the following settings: Style - Emboss; Depth - 50%; Size - 5px; Softness - 0%. This will give your text a raised, 3D effect.

Now that we have our beveled text, let's add some highlights to make it pop even more. Create a new layer and set its blending mode to 'Soft Light.' Then, use the brush tool with a small, soft brush to paint over the edges of the text.

To add some depth to our neon text, we're going to create a wire frame around the letters. To do this, select the Pen Tool and draw a path around each letter as shown in the tutorial. Apply the Bevel and Emboss layer blending option to this line to give it a metallic look.

Next, we're going to add some smoke or cloud effects to our text using a cloud brush or smoke brush. Set your brush to have the following color: #FFFFFF (white). Then, create a new layer above all previous layers and set its blending mode to 'Overlay.' Use the brush tool to paint over the edges of the text.

Finally, we're going to add some highlights around our neon text using a 6px, 90% hardness brush. This will give our text an even more vibrant glow. To do this, create a new layer and set its blending mode to 'Soft Light.' Then, use the brush tool to paint over the edges of the text.

And that's it! With these simple techniques, you can create a neon text style in Photoshop that's sure to grab attention. Remember to experiment with different brushes, colors, and settings to achieve the desired effect.

In this tutorial, we used several adjustment layers, including Hue/Saturation, Bevel and Emboss, and Gaussian Blur, to create our neon text effect. We also used layer masks to hide parts of the brick layer and add color to it using a Color Balance adjustment layer.

By following these steps, you can achieve the following effect:

This neon text style is perfect for creating eye-catching graphics, logos, or titles in your design projects. With practice and experimentation, you can master this technique and create even more stunning visual effects in Photoshop.
