Blue Plasma Text Photoshop Tutorial

Step 1

Let's start out by creating a new file. I used a 600x140 pixels canvas set at 72dpi, and I filled my background with a white color. Now create a new layer set and name it 'Text Effect'. Then select the Horizontal Type Tool and set the font family to Franklin Gothic Heavy, 20 pt, strong and #00E4FF color shade. In a new text layer type the name you want to add a text effect on.

Step 2

Under Layer Style(Layer > Layer Style) add a Drop Shadow, Inner Glow and Gradient Overlay blending options to your text layer.
