Text Effects in Photoshop

First, I opened up a new document in Photoshop. I made the width 3 inches, and the length 3, and the resolution 300. Also, you have to name the file 05initials. I clicked on the horizontal type tool, and entered my initials of my first and last name, which are A.S. I made the font 100, and the text color to black. You might come up with a problem; the text might be out of place. So, you will have to click on the move tool and center the text. When you have finished doing that, make sure that you commit the document. Next, click on layer, scroll down to type, then click on convert to shape. After, you have finished that click on the path selection tool, while doing this hold down the shift on your initials, then click on the ellipse tool. Once, you have did all of that, click on the subtract from shape button which is located in the options bar on the upper right hand side. Your initials must look like Swiss cheese by making some holes inside of it. You can make them any size that you feel like too. Once, you have completed these steps, click on edit, and define custom shape. In the custom shape box name it your name, and click ok. Once again, click on the custom shape tool in the options bar. In the options bar, click the shape box to access the custom shape picker. Select your initials shape that you have just added to the picker. After, that click the create new shape layer button on the option bar. Finally, using your custom shape tool add your initials four more times in the document anywhere. Last but not least, click on the styles located on your right hand side, and just drag the style you prefer to any one of your initials. Avenash
