This is pretty much the same thing I did in another tutorial the Swirl Type in Photoshop.

To make the effect more attractive let's add some swirls. Pay use the end of the 'y' to connect with the 'D', it's very important that the words connect otherwise the effect won't work as well. Use the image below for reference of position and try to connect the words like the 'Bs'. I used another font for it, 'Champignon Alt S.' and you can download it at as well. Now right below the 'Abducted' line type 'by'. We will need a caligraphy style font, I'm using Champignon and you can download it at. Adding noise to gradients is really good because it makes the gradient more subtle. Use 2%, Gaussian and make sure you selected Monochromatic. I'm applying this gradient via layer styles because I want to add a filter to the layer later on and then I will be able to try different colors. What will happen is that as we're using multiply the edges of the image will be darker. Make sure that the white is in the center. Change the Blend Mode to Multiply and the Opacity to 60%. Choose grey (# 707070) and white for the colors. With the Background layer selected go to Layer>Layer Style>Gradient Overlay.

Then fill the background with a very dark color #1f1e1e. Open Photoshop and create a new document, I used 1920x1200 pixels for the Size. The effect is really simple and we will take a look at how to create patterns and light effects with Blend Modes. So I decided to play a bit with Photoshop to create a nice sort of 3D effect using a calligraphy font and a lot of Layer Styles. Last week I posted some articles about typography and received quite a few emails asking me to create a tutorial on text effects.
