While browsing through some Youtube videos one of the thumbnails captured my attention and I was inspired to create the same effect.
The brush stroke technique creates a unique look. In the past I used to use rectangles with reduced opacity.
How to do :
- Open up Photoshop
- Create a new layer (important)
- Select the brush tool
- Set the brush stroke size
- Select the brush stroke (the brush tip like that, I choose the one that looks like paint brush)
- Select the color of the paint
- Then paint on the canvas
- Then take the text layer (DeCentrum SOHO) and move it above the paint brush stroke
- Done
