3D Text Effect with Adobe Illustrator CS3

This time.. I will be.. a little different than usual, but still with my favorite software, Photoshop, only this time.. with the help and the use of 3D rendering power of Adobe Illustrator to create 3D text effects.

Step 1

Open a new document by choosing File > New from the Main Menu or by using Ctrl + N to shortcut it.. my favorite one.. Activate the Text tool by pressing the T key... I use Billo Dream fonts that you can download it here for free.

Step 2

Text Tool still active, right-click your text and choose Create Work Path. Press the A button and then click and drag the area around the text you have selected.

Becoming this...

In the options bar at the top of Photoshop, you can see the Combine button... click it to make sure our letters are all stays together (as a single unit). You can now copy the selected paths by the famous shortcut command Ctrl+C.

Step 3

Skip to Illustrator. Move on, open your Adobe Illustrator now. Go ahead.. paste the paths we copied right into your Illustrator document also by the famous shortcut command Ctrl+V.

Here comes the delicious part! Still with the path selected, choose Effect > 3D > Extrude & Bevel. After all your settings are done, click OK to get your 3D transformation.

Step 4

Back to Photoshop. Notice that our object still selected in Illustrator, copy it back by hitting Ctrl+C, then click over to your Photoshop and hit Ctrl+V like we've done earlier. Choose Smart Object and click Enter. Rename it 3D Text like i did.

Step 5

Create the Shadow. We’re going to do the Copy and Paste again, but now.. in Photoshop. Copy the 3D Text layer and move the copied layer just below the 3D Text layer. Guys... I believe it’s gonna be hard seeing this new black pasted version over the original, so lets change the Blending Mode into Overlay and Down the Fill Opacity as you like.

As usual.. play around guys, have a little fun with it.
Go crazy... Exploring the Art of Madness.

Here's my Final Cut!

Halftone Pattern color like this works with two combination colors as you want of course, you've chosen in advance as a foreground/background. With that two sources put together, and get the transparency effects... For this part.. you can play with the bitmap or grayscale section. After a white background is selected, play alot with blending modes to get the background transparent.

Britta Water Filters

Britta water filters is a dispenser that no longer need to doubt. Very solid. It was fun because I do not have a problem like that I often find in other similar products such as leaking, and so forth.

Whenever you've got one and it's leaking, just follow the customer service advice! I like the shape and certainly will buy one if needed for the future.

I think this is an investment that is really valuable, I recommend it.

I can say that the Line Art is a great combination of images that consist of straight and curved lines on the background (which is usually plain), with no additional gradations in dark places or hue (color) that have it function in this digital world, -as often I wrote here- is to represent the effects of two-dimensional or three dimensional objects.

Masjid Kita Logo

10:01 AM 28 comments

In this great tolerance environment, people focus on symbols, and no symbol is more representative of Islam than the mosque. Jakarta magazine -Masjid Kita- refers to merely as its “Cool Design” which is another way of saying that it might not designed without some great characters, meanings and purposes at all...

Presenting detailed information around the mosque and its activities, restoring the role of mosques to build a civilization of Muslims, building a modern mosque management and integrated community as a future missionary force would become also a great aspect priority of Islamic values.

...And with my own simplicity... these are some samples imaginary cover created by my own seld :p

Color Halftone I.G.

1:30 PM 17 comments

A great design using great design software just like Photoshop need to crate a sense of community as well as a financial return.

There was a time when a design was about fully supporting the number of visitors into a space to get the best economic result.

Here are some sample on how i create a portrait with the help of Color Halftone with photoshop. For the most part, i change the photograph into line art.. and we'all know that the lesson about that has passed on my other tuto there on Line Art and now the focus has shifted to create environments, where a sense of community and innovation is just as important as financial return. Generate the great money for our business.
