Let us create a theme based title- Wild using simple but effective tools.
Procedure:
1.) Open a new document of any size and have the background color as any color.
2.) Create a new layer and fill it with color- # 286204. Right click the layer and select –Blending options or use the Layer Menu > Layer Style > Blending options.
Select the ‘Pattern Overlay’ option and select the pattern- Denim and make adjustments as shown in the image below.
3.) Type a text (in this example, W, L,D individually) Do not type ‘I’ as we will use an image in place of alphabet. Use,
Font- ‘Rage Italic’ and Style-Regular
Size- 250pt and sharp effect.
Color- Black
Hence you will have three Text layers. Right click the text layer and select blending options > Pattern Overlay and select the pattern- Weave. Make other adjustments as follows:
Repeat the above pattern effect process for all the individual text layers.
4.) Open an animal image and move it here in this document.
Use the Magnetic lasso tool to remove the excess portion and paste only the animal image.
5.) Right click the animal image and set the Blending options > Bevel and emboss, as follows:
6.) Select the background layer and use this layer to apply light effect. Note the position where the light has to be placed and then set the light settings. The light should be placed in place of dot for ‘I’ alphabet.
7.) Select, Filter menu > Render > Lens flare and set the settings as-
Brightness- 55%
Lens type- 50-300mm Zoom.
8.) Now select the Custom Shape tool and select the shape- ‘Sun2’. And draw the shape. Position the shape over the light.
9.) Since the shape covers the light, we need to blend the shape in such a way that the light comes through the shape. So set the blend mode for the shape as- ‘Overlay’.
10.) Now to add a little something, we will import another image of branches. Since it would not blend properly with the background and the edges are shown, set the blend mode of this layer to- ‘Darken’ and position it on the right side.
The final image is pasted at the top. See that layers are pasted in the following order.
