Blog banner!

I wanted to create something simple as my first blog banner. I followed a tutorial from a magazine called Photoshop Creative to try and create a lighting effect around the text using paths, brushes and changing the opacity. This is the editing process and the final result;

Creating a Path using the Pen Tool

Adding a Stroke Path using the Brush Tool
and the Paths tab

Adding more stroke paths using
different colours and changing
the blending options

Adding Red and Yellow highlights

Adding white highlights and
changing opacity

Final Result!
