Step 1
Create a new document on Photoshop. It should be 2100 pixels wide and 3300 pixels high with a resolution of 300 dpi. Using the bucket tool (G) Fill the background layer with black.











Step 2
Now we are going to add some layer style effects to the type to give it a shiny glossy finish. Double click on the layer thumb to bring up the Layer Styles menu and Check the "Bevel and Emboss" option. On the Depth option keep it at 100% with a size of 5px. On the Shading use an Angle of -29 and an altitude of 37°, change the Gloss Contour to the option showed below:

Please help! Im stuck doing the pen tool, it doesnt work as i want it to do. I can only se the paths but no color, how do i fix it? i have tried anything i can come up with.. Its sad being stuck when i have done so much already. Thx!
Thanks a lot.Plz describe more...............///
I'm on Photoshop CC 2014 and I cannot for the life of me get the same effect that Step 2 is telling me I should be getting. Any advice?
wow ....all Photoshop Tutorials are very nice .......
Most instructions were not given clearly, pen tool behaved in a very different way from what you barely explained, and the font you are using called "Tetra" is not in photoshop CS6 or CC.
Don't know if it's an actual problem or if i'm just doing something wrong, but I can't figure out how to warp the light effects.
The program swears that there aren't any pixels in the selection, and by the time i finally get the selection to warp, it doesn't warp the glow of the light effect so there's just an eclipse shadow left behind.
Help?
