PSD Tutorial: How To Design An Abstract Flower Fleuron Text Effect
For this Adobe Photoshop CS5 tutorial, you’ll need to download a brush and a .JPG fleuron. With the Photoshop brushes and flower pattern, we'll be creating a unique flower fleuron text effect. In the first example, we'll be implementing the pattern and adding gradient colours, but in the second example we'll be creating only an embossed effect, but again with the fleuron brush - both examples are extremely flexible, so don't forget to show us what you've created so that we can compare. You'll be surprised what amazing effects that you can create with such simple resources.
If you don't have Photoshop, or you want to upgrade to the new CS5.5 Version, take a look at the Adobe Special Offers from the Adobe Store. If you're new to Photoshop, we have some beginner articles and basic tips coming very soon for some of the lesser established designers, which teaches you how to use the basic features of Photoshop, such as Blending Modes, Layer Styles, Text Tools, Cropping/Slicing, Image Adjustments, Brushing, Filters and Photoshop Actions.
