Cartoonish/Juicy Text
By Michael in Text-Effects TutorialsI noticed that i never published a tutorial on Text-Effects so today will be a first tutorial in the category of Text-Effects. The idea came originally from One Button Mouse. After getting the final results, i also noticed that the text looks as if it is dripping honey.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Alright, so lets get started. Some of the things you will need today is well for one your hands, Kristen ITC Font, and a background to start on. If you dont have the Kristen ITC Font, try to look for something similar on DaFont. I used a darkish blue background with a pattern overlay, use mine if you wish to achieve the same results.
Lets add our text, i used the tittle of the website along with a slogan. The color used in mine #ffd506.
Now that we have our text, lets add some effects! I have listed below all the effects used to achieve the results displayed below.
Drop Shadow
Inner-Shadow
Gradient Overlay
Results
In this, you may use two techniques of outling the background for the text. The one i am going to use is adding a stroke big enough to cover the text’s surrounding. The other way is to actually grab the pen tool and create your own shape surrounding the the text. Using Method I, go to Layer - Layer Style - Stroke of the text and apply the following:
Results
Now since you cannot take a selection of the stroke, you will to duplicate the text layer, rasterize it, and turn into a smart object. Then, create a selection of it and fill the background with #821900
.
Alright, now that we have our text’s background. Lets work on some of the effects. Grab your dodge tool, and set the size to 150. Stroke the top of the background with 80% Exposure. Work on it until you get something like this:
For our final set, apply the following Inner/Drop-Shadow settings to the background:
And there you have it, the juicy looking/cartoonish text effect.

The thing i hate about most tutorials are that they dont explain how you find those layer styles or why you choose them, other whise how will we know how to adapt to new styles and make up our own.
THanks

I am not sure what you are trying to say here. If you are asking how did i come to a gradient overlay like that then it there by default… I dont create my own gradients, i use the presets.
