Word
After I met the problem for merge the layer, I decided to change my FOM word with other technic, although madam Lydia had suggested me use the masking. I tried, but fail and can’t do in prefect. So I decide play the word with FIRE!!
After I type the ‘Faculty of Management’, I duplicated the text layer, but i're actually going to create the main fire effect on the original text layer, saving the copy for later. In fact, i don't even need to see the copy for the moment, so click on the small eyeball icon (officially known as the layer visibility icon) on the far left of the layer in the Layers palette. The eyeball will disappear from the Layers palette, and the layer itself will disappear in the document:
After then, I select the original text layer. To create the flames for text effect, i'll be using a few of Photoshop's filters, and the first one i'll be using - the Wind filter - only works from left to right (or right to left), which means that in order to use it, i'll need to rotate our image. Go up to the Image menu at the top of the screen, choose Rotate Canvas, and then choose 90° CW (clockwise):
i need to soften the streaks up a little bit by applying a small amount of blurring to them. For that, i'll use Photoshop's Gaussian Blur filter. Go up to the Filter menu at the top of the screen, choose Blur, and then choose Gaussian Blur:
i simply drag a selection around the area that i want to work with! First, i'll need the Rectangular Marquee Tool, so either select it from the Tools palette or press the letter M on your keyboard to select it with the shortcut:
With the area that we want to work with selected, go up to the Filter menu at the top of the screen and choose Liquify:
This brings up Photoshop's massive Liquify filter dialog box, which consists of some tools along the left, a very large preview area in the center, and a lot of potentially confusing options on the right. If you've never used the Liquify filter before, there's no need to panic. For this effect, all we need here is one tool, one option, and the preview area. Everything else, we can safely ignore.
First, select the
Forward Warp Tool from the very top of the list of tools along the left:
Next, over on the right of the dialog box, you'll see a section called Tool Options, and the very first option in this section is Brush Size. This is where we can change the size of the brush we're using, and it's the only option we need for this effect. Start with a medium size brush. The default brush size of 100 should work fine:
This time, click directly inside the letters and drag your mouse upward to create the shapes of little flames shooting out from them. You can drag straight up for some of the flames, but for others, try to drag on more of an angle to add more variety. Wiggling your mouse a little as you drag upward will also help create more interesting looking flames. If you make a mistake, press Ctrl+Z to undo your last brush stroke, then continue on. If you need to undo several steps, press Ctrl+Alt+Z / as many times as you need. When you're done with the tops of the letters, do the same thing with the bottom of the letters, as well as any other areas that look like they could use some flames shooting out of them. Don't spend too much time thinking about where your next flame should go, since fire should look random and chaotic, not planned and controlled.
The first thing we'll do is give our white streaks more of a wispy look to them. Click inside the streaks at different spots and drag your mouse a short distance either left or right to gently warp the streaks and give them some subtle, random curves. Just click, drag a short distance and release your mouse button, then click and drag again in a different area. Try not to click inside the letters themselves for now. Just warp and wiggle the streaks. And include the streaks in the middle and bottom sections of the letters.
Let's add some color to our flames. For that, i use a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer. Click on the New Adjustment Layer icon at the bottom of the Layers palette, and then select Hue/Saturation from the list that appears:
We'll add one more color to our flames using a second Hue/Saturation adjustment layer. Click once again on the New Adjustment Layer icon at the bottom of the Layers palette and select Hue/Saturation from the list. This time, don't select the Colorize option. Just set the Hue value to around -15 for a deeper orange color.
Go up to the Blend Mode option in the top left corner of the Layers palette (it's the drop-down box that by default is set to "Normal"). Change the blend mode for the second Hue/Saturation adjustment layer to Overlay
Photoshop's Layer Style dialog box set to the Gradient Overlay options in the middle column. Click on the gradient preview area in the center of the options.
