Let's get started. Good luck.....
This tutorial is done in PSP 9. This tag can be done
in all colors (see below this tutorial).
Open a new image 400 X 200 >
Transparent.
Foreground to #b1c4d1.
Background to #6d8e9b.
Or use two other shades of colors.
Now put your foreground to gradient and
look for the fore-background gradient.
Texture unchecked (=blue hand).
Fill the image
with the gradient.
Click
and look for the opened Arial Black. It's in the ZIP.
It is important to set your menu to selection (= blue
hand).
Size 120 > Stroke 0,0 >
B for Bold > Anti-alias checked or Sharp.
Make sure the alignment is set to center.
It is very important to click in your image at
the right spot.
All of your text has to be in your image because if it isn't a part
of the
selection will be gone. Click at the same spot as in my screenshot
(cross).
Type the word love in under cast letters (so don't use capitals in
the word).
If the text isn't in the middle of your image you
can
move the selection with your right mouse button.
So it will be like this:
Effects > 3D-effects > Inner
bevel > Color white.
Keep the selection active.
Open the MD-raster.psp and copy.
Edit > Paste > Paste as a new layer
No need to move this layer.
Now click delete and the raster over the text will be gone.
Effects > 3D-effects > Drop
shadow > Black.
Repeat the drop shadow but this
time Horiz. and Vert. to - 20.
In your Layer Palette select the bottom layer (= blue).
Repeat the drop shadow at 20 and at - 20.
Of course you can't use flip since that would put
the
angels up side down. So move this layer to the bottom.
Layers > Merge > Merge all flatten.
Your Love Tag is done.
