Today I'm going to teach you how to add a simple shine effect to your sig.
(Sorry for the low quality images, I had to optimize them so that I can upload it faster. My internet is slow
)
I'm going to skip the actual signature design, we are focusing on the shine effect animation that the sig has.
To get the Glossy effect please refer to GraveDigger 's tutorial: Glossy effect with CS5
1. Get the Type tool and enter your desired text.
2. Make a new layer above your sig (Ctrl+Shift+N) and name it "Shine", then fill it with White.
3. Now get your gradient tool.
4. Now make a small vertical gradient like this:
5. Drag it to the sides to cover the transparent layers with black using paint bucket tool. We are still at the Shine layer.
6. Right click "Shine" layer and click "Create Clipping Mask". After that you will see the gradient in your name
7. After that, we now proceed in the effect that will give us the shine. Drag the gradient to the start of your name.
8. Bring out the Animation window by clicking Window>Animation
9. Select Frame 1 and click "Duplicate selected frames"
10. Drag the gradient to the end part of your name. Giving it more space will make the animation without the shine a little more realistic.
11. Ctrl+click the two frames so that it is selected and click "Tweens animation frames".
12. Input 10 frames to add, or what suits your taste. I put 5 to mine so that it is faster.
13. You can add more blank frames to the end of the shine effect to make it longer. This is how the Animation window looks now.
And now you have a little something like this.
TIP: If you are working on a light-colored text, invert the color of the gradient in the "Shine" Layer.
If you have questions, don't be shy to ask. I'll be more than willing to help.
This effect is not delimited to gradients only, your creativity is your limit.
Thanks for taking the tour to my tut!
