0:00:12.000,0:00:14.889
Hi. This is Marty from Blue Lightning TV.

0:00:14.889,0:00:19.320
I'm going to show you how to create an
origami, folded paper, text

0:00:19.320,0:00:22.640
logo using a great-looking font called,

0:00:22.640,0:00:27.570
"Origram" designed by Nuno Dias.
I provided its link in the video

0:00:27.570,0:00:29.720
description of project files.

0:00:32.000,0:00:33.080
In addition,

0:00:33.080,0:00:36.530
I provided a Photoshop file that
includes this image

0:00:36.530,0:00:41.040
created by Nuno, which shows how each
character should be rendered to simulate

0:00:41.040,0:00:42.409
the folds within them.

0:00:42.409,0:00:46.360
You can reference them when you're ready
to create the folds for your text.

0:00:46.360,0:00:51.359
Once you install "Origram",
open your Horizontal Type Tool

0:00:51.359,0:00:56.230
and open the font.
If you're not sure how to install fonts,

0:00:56.230,0:00:59.960
watch my tutorial showing how to do it.
I provided that link,

0:00:59.960,0:01:03.750
as well. I'll make this size 250 points,

0:01:03.750,0:01:08.670
Sharp and Center Alignment.
Click on the color box

0:01:08.670,0:01:12.619
and pick a color
that's not too light, nor too dark.

0:01:12.619,0:01:16.800
I'm picking 5 9 8 9 F 7.

0:01:17.000,0:01:19.599
Once you pick your color, click OK

0:01:19.599,0:01:23.929
or press Enter or Return. Type out your text.

0:01:23.929,0:01:29.229
To increase or decrease the overall
space between the characters,

0:01:29.229,0:01:32.289
highlight the line and go to

0:01:32.289,0:01:36.420
Window and Character. The Character panel

0:01:36.420,0:01:40.630
will open. Go to the Tracking icon
and drag it to the right

0:01:40.630,0:01:45.099
or left. I'll set it

0:01:45.099,0:01:50.520
at Zero. To adjust the space between just
two characters,

0:01:50.520,0:01:54.470
place your cursor between them
and press and hold

0:01:54.470,0:01:57.739
Alt or Option as you press the right or left

0:01:57.739,0:02:02.800
arrow keys on your keyboard.
To reposition your text

0:02:02.800,0:02:09.800
open your Move Tool and move it.
Temporarily close the Character panel by

0:02:09.800,0:02:11.540
clicking on this icon

0:02:11.540,0:02:15.129
Go to Layer, Rasterize

0:02:15.129,0:02:20.200
and Type. Click on the thumbnail of the
Samples layer to make the layer active.

0:02:20.200,0:02:23.859
Since "Z" is the first letter of my logo,

0:02:23.859,0:02:30.000
I'll drag the "Z" sample next to it. Press

0:02:30.000,0:02:33.680
"D" on your keyboard to make the
foreground and background colors

0:02:33.680,0:02:37.900
default to black and white, respectively.
Open the Zoom Tool

0:02:37.900,0:02:44.499
by pressing "z" on your keyboard. Drag it
over that area to zoom into it. In this

0:02:44.499,0:02:45.370
example,

0:02:45.370,0:02:50.489
we need to darken these areas of the "Z".
Make your text layer

0:02:50.489,0:02:54.749
active and open your
Rectangular Marquee Tool.

0:02:54.749,0:02:58.260
We're going to render one shadow at a time.

0:02:58.260,0:03:02.510
I'll start with this shadow.
Carefully, drag a selection

0:03:02.510,0:03:06.200
over your character
to the edge where the shadow begins.

0:03:06.200,0:03:10.049
Open your Burn Tool

0:03:10.049,0:03:13.329
and make sure the Range is "Midtones".

0:03:13.329,0:03:16.840
and the Exposure is 100%. Also,

0:03:16.840,0:03:20.629
make sure your "CapsLock" key on your
keyboard is NOT on.

0:03:20.629,0:03:24.389
Make the Size: 65 points

0:03:24.389,0:03:30.170

If you want your shadows to be lighter
or darker,

0:03:44.620,0:03:49.079
just brush over it less or more times.
Delete the selection

0:03:49.079,0:03:53.040

I'll press "v" to open my Move Tool
and drag the

0:04:31.260,0:04:34.290
"E" sample next to my second character.

Open your Zoom Tool and drag over that area.

0:04:39.000,0:04:42.050
Make the text layer active.

0:04:42.050,0:04:45.610
The first shadow on this character

based on its respective sample.
Once you're done

0:05:18.930,0:05:22.710
