In this Photoshop text effects tutorial, we're going to learn how to use Photoshop's Layer Styles to easily make text look as if it's made out of plastic. To create the effect, we're going to be using some "contours" that we'll be loading in, since they're not readily available to us by default, but don't worry, loading them is easy, and so is everything else we'll be doing.
Here's the effect we're going for:
Let's get started.
Step 1: Open A New Photoshop Document
The first thing we need to do is open a new document, so let's do that quickly using the keyboard shortcut, Ctrl+N (Win) / Command+N (Mac). This brings up Photoshop's New Document dialog box. Choose whichever size you like. I'm going to use the preset size of 640x480, as circled below:
Step 2: Fill The Document With Black
Press the letter D on your keyboard to reset your Foreground and Background colors, so black becomes your Foreground color and white becomes your Background color. Then use the keyboard shortcut Alt+Backspace (Win) / Option+Delete (Mac) to fill your new document with the Foreground color, which in this case is black:
Step 3: Add Your Text To The Document
Grab your Type tool from the Tools palette, or press T to quickly access it with the keyboard shortcut:
Then, with the Type tool selected, go up to the Options Bar at the top of the screen and select your font. I'm going to use Helvetica Rounded Black for mine. You can choose whichever font you like from the ones you have installed on your system. A larger, thicker font tends to work best for this effect:
Press the letter X on your keyboard to swap your Foreground and Background colors, so white becomes your Foreground color. We're going to choose a better color for our text using Layer Styles, but for now, white will do just fine. Then, with your font chosen and white as your Foreground color, click inside your document and add your text. I'm going to type the word "plastic":
