Step 54 – Placing the other text behind the pocket

Follow steps 32-46 to add lines to the letters you wish to put behind the pocket. Add a drop shadow to the text using the following settings:

• Opacity: 75
• Angle: 0, check “Use Global Light”

Step 55 – Duplicating text

If your letters are different, follow the above steps to create the patterns and shadows to the rest of the text and move on to the next step. If your letters are the same continue on this step.

Group the entire layer for the letter you worked on in Step 54 and name it. Duplicate the group and place it outside of the pocket towards the right. Create a new layer behind the letter and create a shadow manually like the copy of the letter behind the main image. Fill the selected area with black and add blur to it.

Step 56 – Creating a thread effect

Use the Pen tool (P) and create a 90º line path.

• Spread: 0
• Size: 5
• Contour: (see image below)

Use the Pen tool to create a path that resembles the thread wrapping under the letter.

Right click and choose Stroke Path. Select Brush from the drop down menu.

Step 62 – Erasing a part of the stroke

You now have two stroke lines on one side of the text. Use the Eraser tool to erase the stroke on the right side of the thread.

Step 63 – Adding the loose end to the thread

Create a path for the loose end of the thread.

Repeat the second part of step 61.
