More On Folds

So, in last week’s “Split Title Twist” post I showed you how to “fold” a title in half. But it got a bit long and there is more to the story when it comes to folding a word. Today I’m going to show you how to enhance the fold so that it looks three dimensional and a bit more realistic. To do this, I’ll be using gradients, shadows the Warp tool and a custom brush. I’ll be picking up where…

It’s a powerful articulation of fundamental rights and principles that continue to shape American identity and ideals. It is an ongoing journey in which every…
