With Valentine’s Day around the corner, I thought I’d share with you this speed art video on how I created this Glittering Text Effect in Photoshop (tutorial originally created for Design Tuts+). Here is the final animation from the tutorial.
Final Animation
This particular tutorial has an interesting story behind it. At this time, I was experimenting a lot with animation techniques using Smart Objects and I would constantly bounce ideas off my wife. One day when I was working on some Photoshop projects, she held up her glittery clutch purse and asked if I could create a tutorial on it.
I actually thought it was a great idea. I borrowed her purse for awhile and would move it around under the light to figure out how I could best emulate the random glittering effect. As I worked on the technique in Photoshop, I decided to apply it as a text effect. Watch below to see a Speed Art video on how I created this glittering text effect. Enjoy!
Stephen, I watched your valentine day text effect video and learn a lot of things. And I have a question to you. One friend of mine suggest me Patrick Johnson’s video tutorials. So, he told me to read the review on this site http://www.pstutorialspro.com and then check that out. But I am not sure about the tutorials package. If you know anything about Patrick’s or his tutorials then please let me know. Actually I want to know that is it valuable or not. Or is there have others tutorials package to learn advanced Photoshop.
