FUR = "Follow | Upvote | Resteem" Graphic-making Tutorial!

in #photoshop7 years ago

I will show you the steps on how you can make a moving graphic that says "Follow | Upvote | Resteem". I call that the "FUR" (go figure, hehe).

Here are the steps:

  • Open Photoshop and create a plain white elongated rectangle like this:

  • Then use the text tool to start adding the words in it, we will do "Follow" first:

  • Then we add "Upvote" using the same process:

  • Then we add "Resteem":

  • After adding the texts, let's add a divider too:


Animating Your Graphic!

  • Start by using the "Motion" set of tools in Photoshop:

  • The Timeline panel will show up at the bottom, I like using the frame per frame option, so just click that:

  • You'll have your first frame, like this:

  • Just adjust it by changing the timeframe to No Delay and hiding all the layers:

  • Now, copy the frame using the duplicate tool:

  • Then make the "Follow" layer visible:

  • After that you need to 'Tween' the layers (it's like adding transitions to it):

  • I chose "9" layers for this one:

  • It will give you something like this:

  • It looks like this when animated:

  • After that, duplicate the layer again and make the "Upvote" layer visible:

  • Tween it with 9 layers and it looks like this when animated:

  • Do the exact same thing for "Resteem" (Duplicate, make visible, tween with 9 layers) and it will look like this:

  • Again, do the exact same thing with the dividers (except for tweening I only chose 5 layers):

  • Lastly, duplicate the frame again but this time hide all of the layers (Follow, Upvote, Resteem, & the dividers):

  • Same thing, add tweening with 5 layers and you're almost done. Just save it by choosing File > Save for Web:

  • If the file is too large play with the settings you see here, the important thing is make sure the width and height is sufficient and that it's looped to Forever:

  • Name it and Save it:

  • There you have it! Just add it to your blog posts:
