Top 15 Stunning Text Effect Tutorials in Photoshop. It is a globally acknowledged truth – all that glitters is not gold. Similarly, every Photoshop tutorial that classifies itself as high rated is not necessarily so. For your ease, we have combined 15 most stunning text tutorials in Photoshop all in one place. These are the tutorials most visited and most liked by viewers.

1. Reflective liquid type

Tutorials on creating metal type abound online, as do variations on simple liquid effects. Most are fairly short, offering a good foundation for the reader on how certain effects are achieved but fail to take that extra step (or few steps) to make the piece really shine. Once you have an idea of how different techniques fit together in a piece, it is fairly easy to combine, say, the process to create metal and the process to create liquid to create something that exists in both sides of the FX map.

2. Create a Layered Glowing Text Effect

In this tutorial, we will create this effect using very basic Photoshop tools and layering effects. This tutorial is simple enough for a beginner to understand, but I should warn you that in this tutorial there ends up being over 60 active text layers, which will require a heavy use of your computer’s memory. Let’s jump into this tutorial and layer some glowing text.

9. How to Create a Richly Ornate Typographic Illustration

I love doing type treatments. Out of all the designs I’ve created so far, it’s typographic illustrations that have always taught me a lot, mainly because I’ve usually tried to make the most of Photoshop and Illustrator’s tools. You are practically forced to create most of it from scratch, so how much you polish your design determines how good it will be.

In this tutorial, I went for a decorative look, by firstly choosing a typeface: Ayosmonika . I’ve used it before, and this time I wanted to go for a more flat look. The font seems very organic to me, so I sought and found a good online resource, the ornate pattern freebie. It’s got lots of rich detail, so it’s enough for what we want.

My initial colors were violet and yellow, but they seemed out of place. I later decided to go with a wood texture, and bronze shades (new and aged) for the decorative elements. These colors would give me an old-world look, so even though it’s not how it began, it is how it ended.

10. Create a Spectacular Flaming Meteor Effect on Text

Take typography one step further by having text falling from the sky in a burning inferno. Yes, this is the text-on-fire tutorial to end all tutorials. It uses a little Illustrator for the text and a lot of Photoshop to burn up the screen!

So in this tutorial, I will show you how to create a fire effect similar to when a spaceship or comet enters the earth’s atmosphere. The image we’ll be creating is inspired by a Nike Ad I saw some time ago. I’m not sure what the URL is. If anyone knows it, please link us up in the comments.
