Want to take your type-based motion graphics to the next level in Adobe Photoshop? This is where design techniques like distressing text and creating a logo bug come into play. What are some useful design techniques you can use right now? In this video, Richard Harrington demonstrates how to create a logo bug in Photoshop.
- Oftentimes in a video, you'll be given a logo…that people wanna superimpose into the corner.…Maybe it's a station identification or a branding ID…that needs to be woven into the video.…This is fairly common practice.…Making it is very simple.…Let's assume that you have a vector Illustrator file.…You might not be comfortable using Adobe Illustrator,…but don't worry, if you have an Illustrator file,…it can bee added into a Photoshop document.…Vector graphics made in Illustrator…have the flexibility of being very scalable,…or able to be resized cleanly.…
To do this, we'll make a new document…that matches the size of our canvas.…Now, if you're editing in Premiere Pro,…there's a really easy way to do this.…If you already have a sequence open with footage in it,…you can make a new graphic that matches.…Just choose file, new, Photoshop file,…and it will automatically match…the resolution of your canvas.…In this case, it's using some non-square pixels…to create a 1920 by 1080 graphic.…
When I click OK, Premiere will ask me to save the graphic.…
