What We’re Making
In this Text Effect Quickie, we’ll show you how to create delectable, dark chocolate text as shown in the preview below. Though the effect does take a bit of planning, you can download the Free Chocolate Effect Layer Style.For this text effect to work best, a bold font should probably be used. I specifically chose to use Myriad.
Step 1 – Setup the Background
This text effect does require some preparation in order to give off the chocolate look. The background must have the appearance of a slab of chocolate, or else the effect will be lost.Set up a document, and use the Paint Bucket Tool to fill the background with a dark brown such as #140b07.
Create a new layer. With a large, soft brush, and a foreground color of #371b0f (or a lighter brown) paint a dab in the center of your document. Use transform (Ctrl + T) to stretch it the width of your canvas (or further to give a nice, soft highlight).
Step 2 – Setting the Type
Using the Type Tools, set some type in your document. I chose the obvious word, “Chocolate” in All Caps. The text can be any color.Step 3 – Making The Chocolate Text Effect
Go into your text layers Blending Options (Right Click Layer > Blending Options).Apply the layer effects shown below, making any modifications as needed.
