download this for free)

Create a square

document in

Photoshop with a

black background.

STEP ONE

Go to your layer and click

‘rasterize type’

Make the size of the

font for ‘Bulwell’

bigger than that for

‘Academy’ so the B

and L are wider

than ‘Academy.

STEP TWO

Then use the marquee tool to select the

B + L and make them larger so they sit

lower than the rest of ‘Bulwell’ and

more or less in line with the top of

‘Academy’ (do this one letter at a time)

Use the marquee

tool to select

‘Academy’ and

move it higher

up so it’s closer

to ‘Bulwell’

STEP THREE

Draw 1 above ‘Bulwell’ and then

2 smaller ones at either side of

‘Academy’, just under the B + L

Use the rectangle

tool to draw 3 thin

white rectangles

STEP FOUR

This will allow you to

edit all layers in one go

for speed and ease

Select all your layers

(apart from ‘Background’)

and click ‘merge layers’

STEP FIVE

This will make your layer

completely see through…

Just above your layers,

turn ‘fill’ down to 0%

STEP SIX

… so you should now have a

black canvas

Click on and tick ‘Outer Glow’

Click on your layer

and select

‘Blending options’

STEP SEVEN

Once you’re happy with the

finish, press ‘OK’

Change the colour to red

and play around with the

different options -

opacity/spread/size, etc
