Description If you find this tutorial helpful, I would very much like to know!

This took so much longer to make than I expected it to... especially for something so simple. x:

I tried to make it as clear as possible, but please inform if anything is confusing.

Note: This is the way I do gradient text. I'm self-taught, so there might be a better way to do it out there.

Nice tutorial!

Just one silly question though: Why don't you use 'inner glow' for the inner border and 'drop shadow' for the shadow? Is it personal preference? Just curious...


Love your profiles, btw.

Jienyi In reply to Hongske [2010-07-12 16:36:00 +0000 UTC]

Personal preference, yeah. xD I feel like those make the border/shadow fuzzy, and even though you can edit it to make it less so, I'm rather OCD.

Thank you. (:

What font did you use?

Jienyi In reply to Elbrill [2010-05-18 03:22:42 +0000 UTC]

I honestly don't remember... I have way too many fonts downloaded onto my laptop. xD; I don't think I saved the file I used to demonstrate, either.

The font for the "T" might be Mutlu.

REALLY? I thought it might be too complicated. ;^; How do you normally do yours?

Coniption In reply to Jienyi [2010-03-23 18:14:47 +0000 UTC]

I was drawing the inner border by hand LOL, takes a lot longer...super suckage.

It'd only be too complicated if they didn't want to really know how to do it >: I loved it and found it helpful, obviously taught me something. 8D

Oh yeah, that sounds like it would take forever. @____@

I'm glad you did! 8D
