Photoshop Banner

This tutorial will show you how to create a banner graphic banner in the same vein of medieval graphics. For this tutorial you will need Adobe Phothoshop CS or better. The tool we will use are the pen, text and shape tools. This tutorial will test your pen tool skills and ability to play around with shapes and layer styles.

Type out your banner text and curve the text

Type out the text you want to go on the banner and then select the text and click on the “Create warped text” button located in the Options Palette. Create a subtle curve, because later you want to create the banner and if its curve too much, it will look awkward. I added some depth to the text.
