Creating a Typographic Wallpaper



PTS TUT 1 TUT 1 Thumbnail1



Posted by Tyler Bramer in Photoshop Tutorials on March 10th, 2009








After writing my previous tutorial here about
Creating a Zune in Photoshop, several viewers asked if I’d share how I
created the wallpaper graphic. In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to
make something similar, and it’s quite easy!

What is Typography?


In order to create a typographic wallpaper, it would make sense to know a bit about Typography in the first place. Typography is the art and technique of arranging movable type.
What does this mean? It means that text itself portrays a message all
of its own. Its location, font-family, font-style, color and size all
determine the message it portrays. Using a really blocky font for a
wedding image wouldn’t make sense, because blocky text isn’t elegant or
extravagant, like cursive and curly fonts can be. While this tutorial
won’t focus on the essence of typography, understanding what makes type
look good will help to create a great design.

This is by no means an in depth look at typography. Typography is
a subject folks have written many, many books on, and there is a lot to
be learned about it. I’d definitely suggest picking up a book like "Thinking With Type" if it’s something you find interest in.


Step 1 – Creating the Background


The background of our wallpaper is going to help set the mood. Using a
dark background will allow us to make the typography we use later
really stand out of our image.

Create a new document with the dimensions you desire. My desktop is 1280x1024px, so that will be my document size. Set your foreground color to a dark gray (#111111) and your background color to black (#000000). Then grab the Radial Gradient Tool and create a light to dark gradient near the center of your document.

Step 2 – Setting Our Text Boundary


Since I want my text to be in the shape of a 9 (in relation to 2009
and Tutorial9), the easiest way to achieve the shape is going to be to
create a large 9 and then use it to place our other text. To accomplish
this, grab your Type Tool. Then place a 750px 9 using the font Century Gothic set to bold so that it is located in front of the center of your gradient. I also set my to the color #6dcff6 since my font will look blue later. Then lower the opacity of the layer to around 20%, since it is only being used as a guide.

Step 3 – Placing the Type


Now that we have our boundary area, we are ready to start adding our
type. Before jumping into the vast pool of words to fill the 9, think
about what you want ahead of time. Since my wallpaper is related to
Tutorial9, I will fill mine with words that define the site, such as
Photoshop, Design, and Tutorials.

We also need to think of how different we want the type to appear. Do
we limit ourselves to one font? I’m going to only use the font Century
Gothic, because it has a strong yet clean look, and will allow me to
easily fit the font into the 9. Feel free to use multiple fonts in your
own work. Since I’m only using one font, I’m limited to ways I can make
each phrase stand out. For this, I can use different font sizes and
styles. I can increase the size of a font and make it bold so that it
stands out, or I can make it smaller and use a crisp or smooth style to
make it more subtle.

Step 4 – Coloring the Text


Now that we have a vast stream of words filling our 9, we need to make this image look amazing! Lets start by lowering the opacity of our 9 to around 2%. This way it will help give some border around our text, but not too noticeable.

PTS TUT 1 TUT 1 5


Then place all of your text layers (except the 9) into a Group (Layer > New > Group). Duplicate the group by right clicking it and selecting Duplicate Group. Click OK
when the dialog box appears. The reason we duplicated the group is so
that we can merge all of our text layers into one. With the new group
selected, right click it and select Merge Group. This
will take all of the layers in our group and place them onto a single
layer. Now you can hide the group that still has all of the text layers
in it since we have this single layer with all of our text.

Select your merged layer in your layers palette and add a Gradient Overlay (Layer > Layer Style > Gradient Overlay). I used a nice green (#48a248) for the bottom and a blue (#3bb2f7) for the top.

Step 5 – Adding a Title


Let’s add a nice title to our wallpaper. I’m going to add the text Happy New Year
(Centruy Gothic / 36px / Italic) and use the same gradient overlay as
before, except from left to right instead. Then I’m going to add the
text Tutorial9 Staff (Century Gothic / 24px / Italic) with the color #736357.

Step 6 – Adding Texture


Now let’s add a texture over our image. I grabbed an image off of sxc.hu. Place the texture on a new layer on top of your document. De-saturate the image (Ctrl+Shift+U) and set the layer to Overlay.

Step 7 – Re-Colorization


In the next steps, we are going to add some more random and vibrant color to our image.

Create a new layer and set your foreground to #6dcff6 and background to #000000. Then go to Filter > Render > Clouds. After your layer is filled with a mixture of blue and black “clouds”, set the layer to Overlay and lower the Opacity to 25%.

PTS TUT 1 TUT 1 10


Create another new layer and change your background color to white. Once again go to Filter > Render > Clouds to fill your layer with blue and white “clouds”. Then set your layer to Overlay and lower the Opacity to around 70%.

Simple enough?


As you can see, the hardest part of this tutorial was filling the
document was text. Adding effects was actually quite simple. After
learning all of the tools in Photoshop you will find yourself creating
complex works with minimal effort! Feel free to experiment and create
your own unique works.

To get the effect above, I created a new layer and went to Image > Apply Image. Then I used a Filter > Blur > Motion Blur and set the layer to Lighten with 35% Opacity. After that, I created a Gradient Map (Layer > New Adjust Layer > Gradient Map) that went from #ec008c to #e77418. Finally, I set the gradient map layer to Vivid Light.
