Join Nigel French for an in-depth discussion in this video Warping type, part of Photoshop for Designers: Type Effects.
In this example, we are going to imagine that we're creating some sort of…hand-painted sign look, very nostalgic look, and here is the finished version.…Let's take a look at what we are beginning with.…This is going to bring out several points.…Some of which we've touched upon already and we're going to look at some…alternative solutions to some problems that we've seen in the previous movies.…How to get a good angle of rotation when you apply a warp effect and then how to…hand paint a shadow, and then, specifically, for this example, what's new, …what we haven't covered elsewhere is putting this kind of wood-carved pattern inside…the shape of the Type.…
So some really interesting stuff here I think.…To begin with, we have two pieces of type and that's the point worth mentioning.…If we're going to use one of these warping effects, and I cover these in my Type…Essentials course, so I don't want to get too much into it now.…But if you're going to use one of these, it's only going to work on a single line.…
