 Hello everybody welcome back to another photoshop tutorial and this one going to show you how to get that retro Game over pixelated art style video game style. We've all seen it if you grew up in the 8-bit genre or the 8-bit years This is all 8-bit all the way. I'll show you how to do it step by step Let's go. All right first step file new and let's just create a new artboard 2000 by 2000 is fine and you'll see it's got no background color No big deal first step is we're gonna go ahead and click on this adjustment layer Create a solid color and let's make a black background because that's easier to work with and see what maximize our contrast Okay, the next step is we're gonna grab our text tool over here and we're gonna type game over Game over now. Let's just go game over no and nothing else on that now before I go any further It's very important for me to mention that in order to do this You need to have and I'm gonna click here on this little a button on the character button that the font is AUTOM if I go here I'll show you you can get it on free jet net dot. Yeah, I don't know here it is But I'll put the link in the description below But this is the font that works best in my opinion and I'll link it again like I said, okay, good So we've added that in now. Let's get to work and make it nice and cool looking Step one we're gonna go down here and add a where is it? We're gonna add in a gradient So I want to go ahead and actually know I'm not clicking on that one I'm clicking on this one guys and we're adding in a gradient overlay. This is the best way to do it now I kind of like these colors, but you can go nuts and pick any colors you want for me I like this purple and blue But it mean if you want to go something like like this that looks pretty old school You can use oranges oranges look great like that looks like a nice. Yeah, there you go That looks like a great one. So anyways guys The trick is whatever colors you use doesn't really matter too much We'll use these ones what you need to do is click on the gradient here I'm gonna click on that and these are the things that matter It's called the stops the color stop the color stop one is the first color that you want So let's say we want to go with some sort of blue as the first color and then color stop two is the second color That we're gonna use so let's go with like maybe a let's go with a nice light pink or something like that I don't know let's do something like that there. That looks pretty cool now again You can adjust these colors as you see fit But that's how you add in a gradient and you do a gradient overlay the proper way now You can also adjust the angle depending on how you want it to look if you wanted to come from for example from the top left and Again, you guys can adjust these as you see fit But this these are the buttons then the little nozzles that you can push to get it the way you want it to look Let's keep going. All right, the next step is I'm gonna go ahead now and I'm gonna add a stroke to this So for me, I'm gonna add a let's go actually a little let's go with nine pixels and I'm gonna have a white stroke. So you'll see here stroke selected nine pixels I've got it in the center although it also looks good on the outside But for me, I'm just gonna keep it in the center and there you go I'm gonna and I'm gonna use a white color. So we've added that in I'm gonna click okay So we're getting there. Okay. Now we're gonna click on that button again and this time we're gonna add in an inner shadow Click on that and presto You'll see here at the top of the letters that there's a nice shadow effect now applied to it So it's given it a 3d look It's giving it a sense of depth that maybe it didn't have in the past in the previous to the shadow So there you go now. I've got the blend mode to multiply I've got a distance of 25 pixels and a size of 29 pixels But again, you guys can adjust this as you see fit depending on what you're looking for I'll just leave it around there, but I'll just push the buttons just so you can see them So what happens now you click on that you click on that and you have it guys That's how you get that retro gaming pixel style. Thanks for watching
