Cuisine Coupon - Design Tutorial 8
It’s detail time again. Let’s start with what I call Shine, but can also be taken for as 3D detailing. Duplicate the Ribbon Shape, and set the background to #393939. This might sound a little confusing, but if you follow carefully, you will achieve outstanding results. Grab your Dodge Tool, set the size to 25, Range to Mid tones, and Exposure to 50%. Once you have the settings applied, stroke the left-hand side of the ribbon all the way at the end once, and do the same for the right-hand side. Now, move your attention to the center of the Ribbon, basically imagining as if the tips were never there. Apply the Dodge Tool both to the left-hand side and the right-hand side.
Once you have done that, take out the Burn Tool, and change the Exposure to 100%. Apply the Burn Tool to the left-hand side and the right-hand side of the tips, and do the same for the center of the ribbon, left and right, just as we have done with the Dodge Tool.
And for the last step, set the Opacity of the layer to 50%.

Hi!
I used your tutorial as a base to create a monochrome gift certificate. I’m only a photoshop novice but I never believed I could achieve such results! Thank you!
