Today we're going to learn how to do the "Stroke" effect.
First of all ready your base. I'm using a picture of Selena Gomez on her way to the plane.
Now type in your text. I'm typing the word hmm..... with black color in the font Arial but this part expirement, choose different fonts and colors.
You can't see the text properly so you are going to stroke the text.
On your bottom left hand corner of the layer palett you will see a f. Click on it and a pop - up should appear.
Experiment with the size of the stroke, color and what type of fill you want. You can even use textures!
I used the color white with the size 3. As a result, I got this:
These are other example of icons I used with the stroke effect. On this icon you see below i used a texture with the size of 3.
On the icon you see below the text friends forever i used stroke with the color black and the size 1. As for the Ross and Chandler text I used the black & white gradient and experimented with the angles. I used size 1.
