EL Wire - Digital

Step 1

Okay, so create a new layer then with the layer selected, select the text tool and set the font to the varsity font then type IN CAPITAL LETTERS your text select a colour of your choice then set the size appropriately.

Then we need to get the magic wand tool and select the middle parts and delete them - leaving the outer line on the text

heh i wonder if this could be used for a concept art version of the elwire contest for the more impoverished makers or if entrants actually have to fork over the dough for the stuff and hope they win something.

[DrWilson]

Thanks!

Yes, I love "maths" too.

Dude, Photoshop is WAY better than paint.net

[JamesRPatrick]

Isn't photoshop like seven hundred dollars? Not exactly a hobbyist's tool.

well actually i want to say : it's a good thing that u use Pain.net :)

[Ninja1507]

Looks nice... but i'll agree with the others, it shouldn't be a winner unless its real el-wire. I could model some complex model in 3ds max and have virtual elwire in it. but I'd never expect to win.

[DrWilson]

Thanks and you're' right, I Dont expect to win

[Ninja1507]

It's still a nice tutorial for those who want to learn photoshop (Paint.NET (Which I use even though I have PS CS4 cause its a bit overkill to use sometimes))

[DrWilson]

Thanks

Hmm. Nice idea, but the title was a bit misleading. Here I thought it would actually involve EL wire, not just a PS tutorial.

[DrWilson]

Thanks

[lemonie]

Good effect. But you do have to use real EL wire for the contest.

[DrWilson]

Hmm, you dont as the rules state -your instructable must involve El wire this does, but virtually, it doesn't state that it cant be virtual.

[lemonie]

We'll see what the judges think then. Putting "virtually" before things can be a clever excuse / validation. But do you seriously think this is a winner (without real EL wire)?

[DrWilson]

i would hope so as ive spent just as much time on this as pepole who are using el wire - which there are no entries with yet

[007dna]

I am going to try this with Flash CS4.....

[DrWilson]

hope it goes well
