[Mr. Long]

I got this one, I could use some more practice.

[Juice Springsteen]

Am I also allowed to try it because I need some practice, too.

[Mr. Long]

No reason not to I suppose.

Here's what I came up with.



And a matching avatar just for funsies.

[Mr. Hendrickson]

Now thats killer... My question is how do you make two letters into one flowing one?

[Mr. Long]

Hmmm? Not sure what you mean.

[Snowman]

Holy shit, that's sweet.

Oh and, Hendy, maybe this will help.

1. Select the text layer then Layer > Rasterize > Type (or whatver other option there is) to rasterize the layer
2. Use the marquee tool to help you seperate the layer and copy and paste the letter to where you want them
3. Once your happy with the positioning, merge the layers back together as one by selecting them all and then Layer > Merge Layers

[Wilse]

Alternatively, get Illustrator and do the text in Illustrator, convert to outlines and merge as you see fit, import as a vector smart object in Photoshop and do any transforming (scaling, skewing, distorting, rotating, perspective etc.). That way you can edit it by selecting the smart object in photoshop and quickly opening it again in Illustrator as much as you want without rasterising and pixellating it. :)

Pretty complex way to do it, but a more professional approach. Unless I was going to do a lot of Photoshop-type effects to text I would NEVER use the type tool in Photoshop. That's just me coming from my print design background though, it's all good for web-based graphics. Just a tip if you were ever going to apply something like that to a printed format.

Short but sweet comment.. that sig is awesome! Good work!

[Andrew Xavier]

Thats cool man, good work :)

Also guys if you want you could do some Video Tutorials for the site to show poeple how to do these things :)

[Snowman]

I actually just made one but it isn't very helpful without a mic.

[Andrew Xavier]

lmao we really need to get you a microphone.

You could always type out what you want to say in a text box in note pad and do it that way, I have seen a few tutorials done like that before.

[The Ultimate Opprotunist]

Thanks a bunch Jesse!

[Mr. Long]

No problem.

I actually just converted all of the text into one Shape Layer and then had my way with that. I try to keep shit like that Vector because Raster loses pixels left and right and starts to look pants after a few changes.
