Step 8

You can delete the "psd" layer as we don't need it anymore. Double click on the Background layer to convert it to a normal layer (Layer 0). Now double click on the text "Layer 0" and rename it to "gradient bg". Then double click on the "gradient bg" layer to open the Layer Style dialogue box. First create a Radial gradient in the Gradient Overlay with the following settings.

Step 9

Then create an Inner Glow with the following settings. This will create a texture variation of the Gradient Overlay.

Step 10

Target the "base style" layer. Double click on it to open the Layer Style dialogue box. Let's start building the main Plastic Layer Style. First in the Blending Option section, reduce the Fill Opacity to 0%. This will make the Plastic Style transparent.

Step 11

Then for the Bevel and Emboss section use settings from the below screenshot. In the Shading section, for Highlight Mode select Linear Dodge for a much stronger highlight than Screen blending mode. Also for the Shadow Mode use Color Dodge to simulate at the edge of the text light is passing through a translucent object bright look. Below the Bevel and Emboss is the Contour of Bevel and Emboss, which will basically define the edge or shoulder of the Bevel. Click on the Contour type and select Gaussian type.

Step 12

Inner Glow settings. Notice that Darken as the Blend Mode to produce a darker color blend.

Step 13

Outer Glow settings. Blend Mode is Darker Color to produce a partial darker color blend.

Step 14

Inner Shadow settings. Here Blend Mode is Multiply to produce a very dark outer edge.

Step 15

Drop Shadow settings. Drop Shadow is not creating shadow here. But to create the bright light is passing from the edges of a translucent object.

Step 16

Satin settings for creating bright surface reflections. Color Dodge as a Blend Mode is helping to do that. In the contour use Ring – Double for lots of light reflections but for subtlety reduce the Opacity below the Blend Mode to 15%.

Step 17

After finishing the basic Plastic style.

Step 18

Right click on the "base style" layer and choose Duplicate Layer. Rename the duplicate layer as "secondary highlights". Double click on the layer to open Layer Style dialogue box and uncheck everything besides Bevel and Emboss and Satin. Match below settings.
