A small tutorial for people to learn nuggets about typography for Photoshop

Nintendo

1. Create a new file at any resolution, preferably as big as possible, in this case I am using one with a grey background with the dimension of 1920x1080.
2. Create a new layer folder, let's call this 'Nintendo'.
3. Click on T to select your Type Tool.
4. Make the letter corps 48 with the colour of the letters in their entrity black.
5. We will select the Acumin Variable Concept with a Black Italic corps.
6. Right click on Nintendo and select Blending options.
7. Check Bevel and Emboss. The Options folder inside this repository should give you images of the settings.
8. Below it, you should see Contour make sure to check that one as well and make sure to check the settings.
9. The Colour Overlay should be personal preference based on how you make it. In my case, I prefer Red letters and a white background for the entire thing. Green and Yellow are good examples of complimentary combinations. most of the time in this tutorial, it will help if the background is lighter.
10. The Drop Shadow settings are also in the Options folder inside this repository. The drop shadow should be darker than the Colour Overlay.
11. Now select the rounded rectangle tool and make sure that the radius of it is 130 pixels
12. The stroke should be almost but not exactly as light as the *fill.
13. Now make a rectangle over the letters and make sure that it is a bit bigger than the letters.
14. Make sure that the layer now is *below the letters.
15. Go to the blending options and check the Stroke option and make sure that the settings are the same as the image inside the options folder inside the repository.
16. Now make sure that the Drop shadow is the checked as well with the same options as the image inside the options folder inside the repository.
