Ramen // Cover tips

Embellished text

This took quite a lot of trial and error by me, however I do find the effect to look really good (especially since this was made on mobile)

This is what we're going to be doing today:

(Btw used this method to make my new twitter account banner @/ladyadolys1)

I used the overlay method in a previous tutorial to get that effect/colour in the text itself, however you can colour in phonto as well with a few small adjustments ^-^

Step 1) Open up phonto > Plain image > white background > Write what you want to write (Pick colours/use overlay method) > Save

This is what I came up with:

Now, I used the overlay method in superimpose, I do this because I personally find it easier to look at the different layers, but you can colour it in phonto yourself.

Moving on to superimpose we load it up, and I've just used a simple red as the text's colour.

Next, load up the text again. You should see this:

(I un-blended the red just to show you guys the white background of the second text)

Mask the white parts out of the second text image

So now you'll basically be seeing two of your texts

Select the 'Fit to base' option and it'll sit on top of your first text. (If you un-blended it to follow me exactly, blend it to screen again)

Select 'Cast shadow' on the top text and mess around with your desired settings

Now go into mask > blend and basically choose the one that looks nice. I chose 'colour dodge' for this one, but in another one I chose 'screen' so definitely mess around with the settings and pick the one most suitable for your theme/aesthetic!

Here's the final product!

I also used this method in making my twitter banner, which as you can see is not 'shiny' but leaves a more matte-like finish.

You can also use filters to play around with the final product :)
