EXAMPLES

 

 

 

 

DESCRIPTION

 

You will create a small button that resembles the one above.  You only need to create one.

 

Steps

·       Create an empty image that is 200 pixels by 75 pixels.  To do this, you need to use File > New > Blank File and set the correct size in pixels.

·       Pick two colours (not white or black) and do a gradient in your image.

·       Add your desired text.  

·       Open the Layers panel.  You should have two layers now.

·       Center the text as you wish.

·       Click on the Background layer and apply Artwork & Effect > Layer Styles > Bevels > ... (pick any one)

·       Click on the the layer with text and apply another bevel of your choice.

·       If you’d want to save this as a JPG or GIF, you’d have to flatten the image first (Layer > Flatten Image).
