0:06:37.870,0:06:42.819
underlying shade we choose for the font

0:06:40.150,0:06:46.750
because the chrome effect works best

0:06:42.819,0:06:49.840
starting with medium gray I'm using a

0:06:46.750,0:06:51.639
font called Nero if you'd like to use it

0:06:49.840,0:06:54.400
I provided its link in the video

0:06:51.639,0:06:57.069
description or project files if you're

0:06:54.400,0:06:59.770
not sure how to install fonts watch my

0:06:57.069,0:07:02.530
tutorial showing how to do it I provided

0:06:59.770,0:07:06.789
that link as well for this font I'll

0:07:02.530,0:07:11.590
make the size 183 points none for the

0:07:06.789,0:07:14.650
anti alias and center alignment click on

0:07:11.590,0:07:16.960
your document and type out your text we

0:07:14.650,0:07:19.419
need to increase the space or kerning

0:07:16.960,0:07:21.190
between the characters a bit we're doing

0:07:19.419,0:07:23.919
this because the text will ultimately

0:07:21.190,0:07:26.320
have outer bevels this will require more

0:07:23.919,0:07:28.539
room around each character to prevent

0:07:26.320,0:07:31.330
them from overlapping each other to

0:07:28.539,0:07:34.210
increase the kerning click between two

0:07:31.330,0:07:36.639
characters and hold down alt or option

0:07:34.210,0:07:42.310
as you press the right arrow key on your

0:07:36.639,0:07:45.849
keyboard a few times to Center your line

0:07:42.310,0:07:48.880

0:07:57.699,0:08:07.539
it press ctrl or command D click the FX

0:08:02.590,0:08:10.150
icon and choose bevel and emboss the

0:08:07.539,0:08:13.389
style is inner bevel and the technique

0:08:10.150,0:08:16.840
is smooth slide the depth all the way to

0:08:13.389,0:08:20.500

0:08:16.840,0:08:24.699
the size 30 pixels soften it 5 pixels

0:08:20.500,0:08:26.710
then click OK before we make our text

0:08:24.699,0:08:29.080
into chrome let's convert it into a

0:08:26.710,0:08:31.570
smart object so if we decide to make

0:08:29.080,0:08:33.669
changes to our text later we can make

0:08:31.570,0:08:36.459
the changes without having to repeat all

0:08:33.669,0:08:38.979
the steps click the icon at the top

0:08:36.459,0:08:42.039
right of the layers panel and click

0:08:38.979,0:08:44.250

clipping the adjustment layer restricts

0:09:06.569,0:09:11.519
it to affect just the one layer beneath

0:09:08.279,0:09:13.290
it if we didn't clip it the adjustment

0:09:11.519,0:09:17.160
layer would affect all the layers below

0:09:13.290,0:09:19.620
it in the layers panel the key to making

0:09:17.160,0:09:21.959
our text look more like chrome is to

0:09:19.620,0:09:25.110
apply a set of modified double bell

0:09:21.959,0:09:32.940
curves each set of curves should look

0:09:25.110,0:09:35.370
like a hill a valley and another Hill to

0:09:32.940,0:09:38.550
enhance the chrome effect make a copy of

0:09:35.370,0:09:39.990
the adjustment layer notice our entire

0:09:38.550,0:09:42.360
image is being affected by the

0:09:39.990,0:09:46.339
adjustment layer because we didn't clip

Hi. This is Marty from lightning TV.

0:00:12.060,0:00:16.480
I'm going to show you how to create this sleek, custom, chrome logo.

0:00:16.940,0:00:20.800
Make a new document by pressing Ctrl + N on WIndows

0:00:21.080,0:00:22.600

0:00:47.580,0:00:50.680
Then, click OK or press Enter or Return.

0:00:51.980,0:00:55.100
This makes a vertical guide in the center of your document.

0:00:55.100,0:00:58.570
If you don't see it, press Ctrl or Cmd + H.

0:00:58.570,0:01:03.089
Go back to View and New Guide. This time,

0:01:03.089,0:01:06.940
tick Horizontal and type in 50%.

0:01:07.900,0:01:10.600
We now have the exact center of the document.

0:01:12.220,0:01:13.840
Open your Gradient Tool

0:01:14.320,0:01:18.500
and click the Radial Gradient icon. Click the Gradient bar

0:01:18.840,0:01:20.380

three times this creates

0:01:31.300,0:01:35.380
This creates 70% gray. Then, click OK

0:01:35.390,0:01:39.750
or press Enter or Return. Click to lower, right Stop,

0:01:39.750,0:01:44.820
the color box and type in 10% for Brightness.

0:01:44.820,0:01:47.540
This creates a very dark grey.

0:01:48.000,0:01:51.820
Press Enter or Return twice to close the Color Picker

0:01:51.820,0:01:55.950
and the Gradient Editor. Go to the center of the guidelines

0:01:55.950,0:01:59.480
and hold down Shift as you drag the gradient line to the right

0:01:59.480,0:02:03.190
edge of your document. Let's give your background some color.

0:02:03.800,0:02:07.180
Click the Adjustment layer icon and click

0:02:07.180,0:02:08.400
Hue/ Saturation.

0:02:10.780,0:02:15.600
Check Colorize and pick a hue you like for your background.

0:02:17.320,0:02:19.879
For mine, I'll type in: 236.

0:02:20.920,0:02:23.680
Click the New Layer icon to make a new layer.

0:02:24.400,0:02:29.859
Let's name it "Starburst". If your
foreground and background colors

0:02:29.859,0:02:33.090
are black and white respectively, invert them by

0:02:33.090,0:02:37.189
either clicking this curved, double-arrow icon or by pressing

0:02:37.189,0:02:41.969

0:02:42.300,0:02:46.380
and click the Polygon Tool. Choose "Pixels".

0:02:46.389,0:02:50.019
If you're working on version CS5 or earlier,

0:02:50.019,0:02:55.839
the "Pixel" icon is here. Click the gear icon

0:02:56.440,0:03:01.120
and check "Star". Indent the sides by 99%

0:03:01.120,0:03:07.069
and type in 100 for the sides. Go to the center of the guidelines

0:03:07.069,0:03:11.889
and drag out the starburst shape until it
goes past the edges of your document.

0:03:13.240,0:03:18.200
Rotate it slightly, so the top of your
starburst is vertical with the guideline.

0:03:18.460,0:03:18.520


0:03:18.660,0:03:23.780
Then, release your computer mouse or pen. Change the Blend Mode

0:03:24.300,0:03:29.799
to "Difference". Click the New Layer icon

0:03:29.799,0:03:34.419
to make a new layer. Invert the foreground and background colors

0:03:36.240,0:03:38.440
and open your Custom Shape Tool.

0:03:39.500,0:03:42.540
open your Shapes and click the small gear

0:03:42.540,0:03:46.310

0:03:52.220,0:03:56.060
Choose "Shapes". Click OK

0:03:56.060,0:04:00.790
to replace the existing preset in the window with the new shape preset.

0:04:01.560,0:04:04.019
Scroll down and click "Diamond".

0:04:04.760,0:04:06.800
Click the gear icon at the top.

0:04:07.280,0:04:11.000
Tick "Unconstrained" and check "From Center".

0:04:11.880,0:04:14.680
Go to the center & drag out a diamond

0:04:14.689,0:04:21.310
approximately the size and shape. Reduce the opacity to 40%

0:04:21.310,0:04:25.430
and make a copy of it by pressing Ctrl + J on Windows

0:04:25.430,0:04:31.169
or Cmd + J on a Mac. We're going to reduce the size of this copy.

0:04:31.169,0:04:34.199
To do this, open your Transform Tool

0:04:34.200,0:04:36.780
by pressing Ctrl or Cmd + T.

0:04:39.460,0:04:43.560
Click the chain link icon. This links the percentage

0:04:43.560,0:04:47.030
in the Width and the Height. In the Width field,

0:04:47.030,0:04:48.190
type in 90.

0:04:50.259,0:04:52.839
Notice the height also changed to 90%.

0:04:53.660,0:04:55.600
Then, press the Enter or Return.

0:04:56.740,0:04:59.660
Increase the copy's opacity to 50%

0:05:00.680,0:05:01.900
Make a copy of it

0:05:03.919,0:05:05.619
and open your Transform Tool

0:05:07.509,0:05:11.780
This time, don't click the chain link. We want to change the Width,

0:05:11.780,0:05:15.199
but keep the Height, as is. Reduce the Width

0:05:15.199,0:05:16.239
to 40%.

0:05:17.620,0:05:19.740
Then, press Enter or Return.

0:05:21.949,0:05:25.190
Double-click the largest diamond shape. This makes it

0:05:25.190,0:05:27.690
active and opens its Layer Style window.

0:05:28.360,0:05:31.640
Click "Outer Glow". Click the color box

0:05:32.319,0:05:33.639
and pick white.

0:05:35.599,0:05:41.259
Increase the opacity to 100% and make the size 117 pixels.

0:05:41.509,0:05:43.049
Then, click OK.

0:05:45.030,0:05:48.830
Let's group the diamond shape layers into a folder. To do this,

0:05:48.840,0:05:52.280
Shift-click on the top shape, which highlights all of them

0:05:52.280,0:05:54.660
and press Ctrl or Cmd + G.

0:05:56.090,0:05:59.470
If you decide you want to modify the size later,

0:05:59.470,0:06:03.430
just open your Transform Tool, hold down Shift

0:06:03.430,0:06:08.599
and drag the corners in or out. To compress or expand the shape,

0:06:08.599,0:06:12.739
go to a side, hold down Shift and drag it in or out.

0:06:13.080,0:06:15.420
This applies to the top and bottom, as well.

0:06:16.210,0:06:19.090
Let's name the folder, "Diamond shapes".

0:06:20.270,0:06:24.330
We can hide the guidelines now. Press Ctrl or Cmd + H.

0:06:24.980,0:06:26.680
We're ready to set our text.

0:06:27.840,0:06:32.620
Open your Horizontal Type Tool and click the foreground color.

0:06:33.500,0:06:36.780
In Brightness, type in 70%.

0:06:37.189,0:06:40.650
This will be the underlying shade we choose for the font

0:06:40.650,0:06:44.770
because the chrome effect works best starting with medium grey.

0:06:46.080,0:06:50.080
I'm using a font called, "Nero". If you'd like to use it,

0:06:50.080,0:06:53.620
I provided its link in the video description or project files.

0:06:54.090,0:06:58.949
if you're not sure how to install fonts,
watch my tutorial showing how to do it.

0:06:58.949,0:07:02.680
I provided that link, as well. For this font,

0:07:02.680,0:07:05.400
I'll make the size 183 points

0:07:05.939,0:07:10.199
"None" for the anti-alias and "Center Alignment".

0:07:11.200,0:07:12.699
Click on your document

0:07:12.699,0:07:17.360
and type that your text. We need to
increase the space or "kerning" between

0:07:17.360,0:07:18.919
the characters a bit.

0:07:18.919,0:07:22.780
We're doing this because the text will ultimately have outer bevels.

0:07:22.780,0:07:26.740
This will require more room around each
character to prevent them from

0:07:26.740,0:07:30.330
overlapping each other. To increase the kerning,

0:07:30.330,0:07:34.530
click between two characters and hold down Alt or Option

0:07:34.780,0:07:37.320
as you press the Right arrow key on your keyboard

0:07:37.330,0:07:38.390
a few times.

0:07:41.219,0:07:44.969
To center your line of text, click your Move Tool,

0:07:44.969,0:07:48.400
press Ctrl or Cmd + A to select it

0:07:48.400,0:07:51.600
and click the Align Horizontal Centers icon

0:07:53.240,0:07:55.740
and the Align Vertical Centers icon.

0:07:56.900,0:08:00.480
To deselect it, press Ctrl or Cmd + D.

0:08:01.999,0:08:04.519
Click the "fx" icon and choose

0:08:04.700,0:08:06.000
Bevel & Emboss.

0:08:07.420,0:08:11.040
The Style is Inner Bevel and the Technique is Smooth.

0:08:11.860,0:08:14.140
SLide the Depth all the way to the right.

0:08:14.720,0:08:18.620
The Direction is Up and make the size 30 pixels.

0:08:19.090,0:08:22.350
Soften it 5 pixels. Then click OK.

0:08:23.319,0:08:27.639
Before we make our text into chrome,
let's convert it into a Smart Object,

0:08:27.640,0:08:31.020
so if we decide to make changes to our text later,

0:08:31.030,0:08:34.550
we can make the changes without having to repeat all the steps.

0:08:35.180,0:08:38.440
Click the icon at the top right of the Layers panel

0:08:38.440,0:08:42.800

0:08:42.800,0:08:46.880
