Chrome Text Effect

Guest tutorials explained

Over the years I've been writing many Adobe Photoshop tutorials and recently been writing for additional categories such as Cinema 4D and CSS. Now since I helped a lot of people with my tutorials it just seems right to have the option for members to give something back to the Celox design community by submitting there self-written tutorials to this site, keep in mind that it's not a tutorial engine instead all submitted tutorials will be re-published on this site.

Members that will submit there tutorials on this site will be awarded with a link back to there own website on the specific tutorial's page, this link will be in text format so it will most definitely improve your search engine ranking.

Intro:

In this photoshop tutorial you will learn how to create a nice looking chrome text effect just like the one below.

Step 1:

First of all make a new 300x300 images on white background. Then using Type Tool create your type and use black color for your text. I used a Book Atiqua font at 72 pt and set the font style bold.

Step 2:

go to Layer => Layer Style => Stroke or just double click on your type layer on the layer palette. Once the Layer Style box has opened then use the following values for stroke.

Step 3:

go to the Gradient Overlay box and use the following settings. You will need to get the gradient to look like the one I used.



To modify the gradient double click on it and add and change the slider to resemble this.

Step 4:

Next drop down to the Bevel and Emboss settings and set the following values.
