There are many text effects we can create in GIMP or Photoshop. The only thing we can really be limited by is creativity. So where to begin? Well, we’re going to start with two tutorials that are fairly simple but have dramatic impact. For ALL of our text images, we’re going to do something special. When you choose the words or phrase for your text effects, they need to be Raider oriented. I’d like to use some of these images in our Athletic Banquet video. Keep in mind these are athletic oriented. Or if you are interested, you could make a text effect for “Aquinas Music.”
These are the two warm-up text effects before we get into the advanced effects.
1)Glass Text – http://gimpology.com/submission/view/transparent_glass_lettering/
2) Rays of Light – http://www.gimpusers.com/tutorials/rays-of-light-behind-text.html
These two tutorials will help you prepare for the advanced tutorials which are going to be super fly, but challenging.
