Shutter Text
In this tutorial we are trying to create a shutter text effect using layer styles, pen tools and color blending. This is just an explanation of the simple technique, so you can create unlimited effects on this base. Step 1: Like always create the canvas, if you are using CS3 then you have noticed that Adobe categorized the Presets because those are fillinf lots of space. Btw, fill the canvas with the radial gradient tool. I will not explain more than this or increase the number of steps explaining this. Step 2: Select Freeform Pen Tool (Shift + P) and draw your shape or write your text as per your choice. Make sure in the menu bar you select the second one called paths. This is not necessary that you use Freeform Pen Tool, you can also use Pen tool and create the shapes by clicking and dragging the mouse. But always remember not to use too many points.
