It is no secret that my favourite chocolate is dark :)
Creating a rich dark chocolate text is reasonably easy in Paint Shop Pro.
You will need:
Font 1 - Mirabel One
http://canadatype.net/fonts/mirabelhttp://canadatype.net/fonts/mirabel
but a similar cursive font with some smoothness and thickness would be
appropriate.
Font 2 - Yu Gothic Semilight [Microsoft]
Foreground colour #5c504d
Background and Text
colour #342b26
Create a new image 600 X 400 72 ppi raster background transparent.
Flood fill with gradient created with your foreground and background colours using these settings.
Add some noise to give the background a slightly velvety appearance.
Adjust . add noise:
Layer > New Vector layer [text 1]
Select the text tool and font Mirabel One with these settings and using foreground null and background colour #342b26 :
Layer > convert to raster layer.
Effects> 3D effects > Inner Bevel
Select Text only
New Adjustment layer
-Curves
This gives more shine and definition.
Select the text layer . Effects > 3 D Effects Drop Shadow :
Create a New Vector Layer
above adjustment layer [text 2]
Select the text tool
Same dark background colour #342b26 foreground null
Font 2 Yu Gothic
Semilight
Write some descriptive words about your chocolate.
If you wish, copy merged and
pasted as a new layer and changed blend mode to dodge and reduced opacity to
25% or less to give it a bit more "oomph."
All values given for
guidance. For different sized images and text, you may need to make adjustments to the sizes and values of your
settings....experiment!
