INTRODUCTION:

These are are all the steps you need to
make a very simple glass letter name
PhotoImpact
I used version 7 for this tutorial


1


open new image, white, 5x7inches
you will crop later



2

go to TOOL MENU and choose TEXT
select a heavy flat font for best effect
I like Black Chancery, Cherries Black, VictorianD
Medusa and several others

DAFONT
Here's a great font site


I have selected Cherries Black for this tutorial
Colour is not important
font size= 70


Write: YOUR NAME in the center of the canvas





3
Go to the Easy Palette
Material Gallery= doubleclick on Metallic M14
Material Attributes Gallery= double click on R05


4



Drop Shadow
you want to keep the letters as sharp
and transparent as possible,
so keep the shadow sharp and pale.
Here are the settings for the name you see above

Go to Menu Bar and select Object, Shadow
Check the first box
x offset= 5
y offest= 5
Transparency= 77
Shadow size= 100
Soft edge= 4

experiment with these numbers
until you find a look you like :-)

I like a pale shadow like this
this is a transparency of 88



all other settings are the same
see how the glass looks more transparent
with a lighter shadow?
5


save an uncropped version for the next tutorial,
and you can add a graphic to this name :-)
crop your completed glass name signature
and save as a .jpg
