Another one of my text styles, "Bi-Polar Attraction" (I suck at naming things :/) Actually, I will be showing you 3 variants on the style: Dark, Light, and Electric. All 3 variants are included in the style download at the bottom of the tutorial. I think the effect really looks better with a larger size font, but that's for you to decide.

Here is an example of the 3 style variants on both black and white backgrounds:


Since there is a limit on the number of images I can post, I have only posted images of the style's settings. For pictures of how the applied settings should look on your text, click on the settings image. Also, I will be working exclusively on a black background with the Dark style variant, since it is easiest to see. Now with that said, create a new image using a white or black background with a size to fit your text. In my case, I'm using a 72px font (Tribal Two) so I started with a 450x150 image.

1. Type your desired text in any color, try to center it. Color doesn't matter because a Color Overlay will be applied.


2. Now it's time for the effects - We'll start with the Color Overlay. Click on the "f" icon on your Layers palette and go to Color Overlay.


3. Use these settings


4. Next is Inner Glow


5. Now the Inner Shadow


6. And the Drop Shadow


7. Now Bevel and Emboss


8. Finally, add the Stroke


There you have it, another awesome style If you are having trouble understanding the settings, or would rather just get the style prepackaged, you may download it here: SunBlind's Bi-Polar Attraction Style Set. Hope ya like it!

I should say, love the font. Definitely worth downloading. But did you make the font yourself? Because that's totally awesome. Electric looks best so far in my opinion but there are many other ways to modify this style to make it look better depending on the background in use. Great job!

Thanks a bunches I wish I had made that font! It's one of my favorites. Another one is "Bastarda," you can find that in my Custom Style #3 tutorial. I'm actually interested in creating my own fonts, especially because I'm so into text effects... but I just haven't had the time. I like the electric variation as well, it's fun to experiment with the different effects it can produce by changing the drop shadow and inner glow. If you come up with some other cool variations, please post them here so I can see

Hm.. I never considered ever making my own font, that's a cool idea. You should do one if you think it'll look amazing. I'd love to do one too, but with my creative skills in doing one, I bet I'd make one of the oddest ones available >_< Anyways, great job with that above. Keep up the cool work.

If/when I finally make my font, you can be sure it'll be weird. Most definately a weird one (tribal looking) as they're the easiest, I think.

Thanks, broli, and you may be pleased to hear that I have 4, wait 5 tutorials in queue for posting

Well, after being away for so long, I figured it's time for me to write another tutorial. This time I have settled for those plastic tentacles you see all over the web; in interfaces, in signatures even. I, myself did several tutorials on this subject, and then I finally found a very simple way ...more
