Design a Parental Advisory Label

May 21st, 2007 · 7 Comments

12. Next select the ‘PARENTAL’ layer and go into blending options. Use these settings. After selecting OK, right click on your ‘PARENTAL’ layer (click directly to the right of the layer preview box) and click ‘copy layer style’. Now right click on your ‘ADVISORY’ and ‘EXPLICIT CONTENT’ layer in the same spot and select ‘paste layer style’. This will quickly apply the same layer style to all text layers without going into blending options for each one.

13. Now go into blending option for your white layer (the layer with the white border and white bar) and apply these styles.

14. Here is what you should have right now.

15. Next select every layer that creates the label. You can do this by selecting the top layer, holding SHIFT, then select the bottom layer so that those layers and all layers in between are selected. Like shown.

16. With all those layers still selected enter free transform mode (CTRL+T) and rotate the label to something like this:

17. Now find a brick texture and paste it in your document above your background layer but below every other layer. You can find this texture that I used at the Nifty Tutorial Resource page.

18. Next select your top most layer whatever it may be and hit CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+E. This will merge all visible on a new layer at the top. Then go to filter>render>lighting effects. Use settings similar to this:

19. Now to add another final touch, a shadow to the label itself. The easier method is to take your black layer (that you made int he beginning of this tutorial) and move it all the way to the top. Move the fill meter down to 0%. Make sure your layers look like this:

20. Enter the blending options and apply a drop shadow with these settings:

21. Here is what you should get!
