ChocolateBar

This tutorial explains how to create a simple pattern, then how to use it along with a couple of layer styles to make a chocolate bar like text effect. It then explains how to modify a simple brush to add a nice filling to the text, and finally, adding some adjustment layers to complete the effect.

The Final Result:

Chocolate Bar

Notes:

* the software used in this tutorial is Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended
* the size of the final result image is 1250 * 800
* you might want to check the Basix Page to see some useful topics on dealing with Photoshop basics, such as loading palettes and some shortcuts.

The tutorial explains how to create the pattern to show some useful tips and tricks, but here is the pattern if you want to skip that.

* Pattern used.
* Yellow Vintage Paper Texture from the Colored Vintage Paper: Texture Pack
* Bows Set 2 by ~ro-stock. Edit: The deviation has been deleted. Here are two alternatives: Bow 2 PSD, or Christmas Bows 7.

A Special Thank You!

To all textuts‘ readers, followers, subscribers, and fans. I really appreciate your amazing support, and it means a lot to me. July 22nd was textuts‘ first anniversary, and I thought I’d take this opportunity to thank you all for making this happen!

I always love to hear from you, so if you’ve got anything you’d like to say or suggest, just go ahead and send me a message through the contact form.

This text effect is a simple “Thank You”, so I hope you like it :)

Best regards,
Rose

Step 1:

- Set the Foreground color to #fece01, and the Background color to #e8661b, and create a Radial Gradient from the center of the document to one of the corners.

Chocolate Bar Text Effect step 1

- Place the Yellow Vintage Paper Texture on top of the Background layer, scale it down till it fits properly in the document, and change its Opacity value to 50%.

Chocolate Bar Text Effect step 1

- Click the New Adjustment Layer icon at the bottom of the Layers panel, and choose the Hue/Saturation adjustment layer.

Chocolate Bar Text Effect step 1

- Change the Hue value to -10 and the Saturation value to -40.

Chocolate Bar Text Effect step 1

- Again, click the New Adjustment Layers icon, this time, choose the Vibrance adjustment layer.

Chocolate Bar Text Effect step 1

- Change the Vibrance value to 100 and the Saturation value to -40.

Chocolate Bar Text Effect step 1

Step 2:

- We are going to create the Pattern right now. So open a new document that is 30 x 30px with a White Background. You can zoom in until the document is big enough to work with.

Chocolate Bar Text Effect step 2

- Using the Rectangular Marquee Tool, draw a square that selects the whole document.

Chocolate Bar Text Effect step 2

- Click the Subtract From Selection icon in the Options Bar, and draw another rectangle that is 1px smaller than the first one.

* You can open the Info Panel (Window -> Info) to check the dimensions.

Chocolate Bar Text Effect step 2

- Fill the selection with the color #888888.

Chocolate Bar Text Effect step 2

- Press Ctrl+D to get rid of the selection, then, repeat a similar process, but this time, draw the first rectangle so that it selects the white area only, and the other one should be 2px smaller. Fill the selection with the color #222222.

Chocolate Bar Text Effect step 2

- Once again, draw another border that is 2px wide, and fill it with the color #c7c7c7.

Chocolate Bar Text Effect step 2

- Finally, we are going to create vertical lines that are 1px wide, leaving a space of 2px between them. Use the Rectangular Marquee Tool and click the “Add to Selection” icon in the Options bar to create all the lines’ selections together. Fill the lines with the color #e9e9e9 and get rid of the selection (Ctrl + D).

Chocolate Bar Text Effect step 2

- Now, go to Edit -> Define Pattern, and type in a name for the pattern.

Chocolate Bar Text Effect step 2

Step 3:

- Back to the original document, create the text with the color #743d10. The font used is PicoBlack, and the Size is 350px. Also, set the Tracking value to 25 to avoid overlapping. (You can get the Character panel from Window -> Character).

Chocolate Bar Text Effect step 3

- Duplicate the text layer(s).

Chocolate Bar Text Effect step 3

- If you have multiple text layers, select all of the duplicated ones, then go to Layer -> Merge Layers, or simply press Ctrl + E. If you have only one text layer, the right click it, and choose Resterize Type.

Chocolate Bar Text Effect step 3

- Drag the merged/ rasterized layer so that it becomes under the original text layer(s), and rename it to “Shadow”. We are going to use this later to create a shadow using the Motion Blur filter.

Chocolate Bar Text Effect step 3

Step 4:

Double click on the original text layer to apply the following styles:

- Drop Shadow: Just change the color to #402713.

Chocolate Bar Text Effect step 4

- Inner Shadow: Change the color to #743d10, the Distance to 0, and the Size to 13.

Chocolate Bar Text Effect step 4

- Bevel and Emboss: Change the Size to 20, check the Anti-aliased box, change the Highlight Mode color to #72533a, and the Shadow Mode color to #98653b.

Chocolate Bar Text Effect step 4

- Contour: Change the Contour to Shallow Slop – Valley, this will create a simple border around the beveled text, so that the text won’t look flat at the edges. Check the Anti-aliased box for a smoother result.

Check this image to see how to load the contours if you don’t have them.

Chocolate Bar Text Effect step 4

- Texture: Here is where we are going to give the text the chocolate bar look using the pattern we’ve created in Step 2. So go ahead and choose the chocolate_pattern from the Pattern box, and check the Invert box. You can change the Depth value if you like, but it is set to its default here.

Chocolate Bar Text Effect step 4

- Color Overlay: This is optional, but it is where you can choose a color for the chocolate. The color used here is #673d26, but you can totally go ahead and choose a different color.

Chocolate Bar Text Effect step 4

- Click OK to get out of the Layer Style box. Check out what we’ve got!

Chocolate Bar Text Effect step 4

Step 5:

Open the Brush panel (Window -> Brush), choose a hard round brush, and modify its settings as shown below:

- Brush Tip Shape:

Chocolate Bar Text Effect step 5

- Shape Dynamics:

Chocolate Bar Text Effect step 5

- Create a new layer on top of the “Shadow” layer and under the text layer(s), call it “Filling”.

Chocolate Bar Text Effect step 5

- Right click on the text layer, and choose Create Work Path.

Chocolate Bar Text Effect step 5

- Select the “Filling” layer so that it is the active layer, then, pick the Direct Selection Tool and set the Foreground color to White. Right click on the path and choose Stroke Path.

Chocolate Bar Text Effect step 5

- Choose Brush from the Tool drop down menu, and un-check the Simulate Pressure box.

Chocolate Bar Text Effect step 5

This will stroke the path with the brush. Hit Enter to get rid of the path.

Chocolate Bar Text Effect step 5

Step 6:

Double click on the “Filling” layer to add the following styles:

- Drop Shadow: Just change the color to #787878.

Chocolate Bar Text Effect step 6

- Bevel and Emboss: Change the Gloss Contour to Rounded Steps, check the Anti-aliased box, change the Highlight Mode to Overlay, and the Shadow Mode color to #99846b.

Chocolate Bar Text Effect step 6

- Contour: Change the Contour to Rounded Steps as well, and check the Anti-aliased box.

Check this image to see how to load the contours if you don’t have them.

Chocolate Bar Text Effect step 6

- Texture: This will add a simple texture to the filling so that it looks more 3D. So choose Ant Farm from the Pattern box, and change the Depth value to 20.

Chocolate Bar Text Effect step 6

- Color Overlay: This is also optional, but you can choose a color for the Filling as well. The color used here is #e7e5df, but you can choose any other color you like.

Chocolate Bar Text Effect step 6

- This is what the filling should look like.

Chocolate Bar Text Effect step 6

Step 7:

- Select the “Shadow” layer we created earlier, and go to Filter -> Blur -> Motion Blur. Change the Angle to -30 and the Distance to 100.

Chocolate Bar Text Effect step 7

- Move the shadow around (using the Move Tool) so that it starts at the top edge of the letters, and spreads away diagonally. Change the “Shadow” layer’s Blend Mode to Multiply, and the Opacity to 50%.

This should give the text more depth.

Chocolate Bar Text Effect step 7

Step 8:

Go back to the Brush panel, and using the same hard round brush, modify the settings as shown below:

- Brush Tip Shape:

Chocolate Bar Text Effect step 8

- Shape Dynamice:

Chocolate Bar Text Effect step 8

- Scattering:

Chocolate Bar Text Effect step 8

Now, start painting some scattered dots on the “Filling” layer, as if the filling is a bit spread around the text.

Chocolate Bar Text Effect step 8

Step 9:

- Open a bow form the Bows Set 2, and place it on top of all layers. Resize it and move it or rotate it till you like how it looks, and place it on top of one of the letters.

Chocolate Bar Text Effect step 9

Double click on the “Bow” layer to apply the following styles:

- Drop Shadow: Change the color to #805748, and the Size to 11.

Chocolate Bar Text Effect step 9

- Color Overlay: Change the Blend Mode to Soft Light and the color to #696149.

Chocolate Bar Text Effect step 9

This should enhance the color of the bow and give it more depth.

Chocolate Bar Text Effect step 9

- Go to Image -> Adjustments -> Hue/Saturation, change the Hue to 5 and the Saturation to -10.

Chocolate Bar Text Effect step 9

- The color of the bow is getting better, but it still needs some more adjustments. So go to Image -> Adjustments -> Color Balance, make sure that the Tone Balance is set to Midtones, and change the Color Levels values as shown below:

Chocolate Bar Text Effect step 9

- Finally, go to Image -> Adjustments -> Vibrance, set the Vibrance to -5 and the Saturation to -10.

Chocolate Bar Text Effect step 9

Step 10:

- The last thing we’re going to do is adding some adjustment layers to make everything blend well. So click the New Adjustment Layer icon, and choose Photo Filter.

Chocolate Bar Text Effect step 10

- Choose the Deep Yellow Filter from the drop down menu.

Chocolate Bar Text Effect step 10

- Add a Hue/Saturation adjustments layer, and set the values as below:

Chocolate Bar Text Effect step 10

Chocolate Bar Text Effect step 10

- You might as well need to adjust the colors of the “Bow”. The only adjustment made here is changing the Saturation (Image -> Adjustments -> Hue/Saturation) value once again, to make the colors a bit less bright. But you can go ahead and do whatever adjustments you’d like to do.

Chocolate Bar Text Effect step 10

- Finally, set the Foreground color to Black, create a new layer on top of all layers and call it “Gradient”, then, create a Foreground to Transparent Radial Gradient. Change the layer’s Blend Mode to Soft Light, and its Fill value to 30%.

Chocolate Bar Text Effect step 10

And that’s it!

    I’m curious, from where are coming all these weird ideas of yours? I mean, it’s awesome, and the execution is outstanding, allright, no doubt about this. But, never in my life I would have thought such a thing! Chocolate bar text effect! Come on! ;D

    Congratulations for your baby’s birthday, and many many (and many more) thanks for sharing all these awesomely talented tips and tricks.

    • textuts says:

      Wow! This has to be one of the nicest comments I’ve ever read! Thank you so much :)
      I actually try to be inspired by whatever is around me, in an attempt to come up with something new, and I’m glad you find it useful :D

      Thank you so very much once again for your kind words.

      Cheers :)

      • egiova says:

        By the way, soon it will be my daughter’s birthday (well, one of my daughters indeed), and I completed the tut (result here: http://tinypic.com/r/qnvcyh/7) because she’s a huge chocolate fan (beside we live in Mexico where chocolat comes from).
        P.S. You don’t have to thank me for my previous comment, you deserve it. For the record, I’m designing since 30 years now and I can see when something is well done, and what you do is very well done, and not “easy”. Challenges are indispensable in our job.
        Saludos.

        • textuts says:

          I really am speechless! This really means a lot.
          A very Happy Birthday to your daughter, hope she has a great one! :)
          Muchas gracias.

  13. Jennifer says:

    Hi there, I am new to the world of photoshop! But I must say this is such a lovely work! A quick question… can I do the above in CS3?

    • textuts says:

      Hey Jennifer,
      Thank you for your kind words.
      Of course you can do it in CS3, and if you have any questions please leave a comment, and I’ll try my best to help.

      Cheers :)

  14. Donna says:

    I would like to say , how much I enjoyed doing your tut. I am a brand new PS owner & user. Heck, I’m still learning what tool does what LOL. Someone in my group gave us this link for the text effect tut and I just had to try it. And I must say, that it was very easy to follow, even for me. I know once I learn the program better, I can really do something. But I just wanted to say that I enjoyed doing your tut. TY

    • textuts says:

      Hello Donna,
      Thank you so much!
      Glad you found the tutorial easy to follow. Hopefully the other tutorials will be as easy and useful as well :)
      Cheers!

  15. Michelle Garcia says:

    Wow! Super helpful tutorial! Never thought that making chocolate letters was that complicated. Thanks for this wonderful website of yours, I will be looking forward for new tips!

  16. photoshopnewbie says:

    can i download a psd file?

    • textuts says:

      I’m really sorry, but PSD files are not available for download.
      If you have any questions about the tutorial please leave them in a comment, and I’ll try my best to help.

  17. Patuchi says:

    Awesome!!! You explained it sooo well!! I didnt have any problem to understand you. It is a great job!! applause!

  18. Ariella says:

    I’m having some trouble with the stroke path. It comes out sort of beige instead of white – as if it’s not opaque, and the colors beneath it are showing through. I can’t figure out what I’ve done wrong.
    Help?

    • textuts says:

      Hello Ariella,
      You might need to check the layer’s Opacity and/or Fill values (in the Layers panel), or the Opacity and/or Fill values in the Brush Options bar at the top of (when the Brush Tool is selected). All values must be 100%.
      Hope this helps.

  19. Leo says:

    Where can I get the contours you use?
    For example the Shallow Valley – Slope, I don’t have it preloaded in my photoshop and I could not find it online.

    Same about other contours.

    (Great tutorial, thank you so much!)

    • textuts says:

      You can check this image to see how to load the contours. (This is mentioned in the bold part under the third image in Step 4).
      Hope this helps :)
      Thanks for the comment.
      Cheers!

    Silly me. :p
    Thank you for the lightning fast answer!
    Keeps me inspired.

      I haven’t actually tried creating an action for this, but I think it should work.

      Thanks once again.
      Cheers :)

  29. Kay says:

    What a brilliant tutorial! Absolutely loved it.

    I’m still a newbie and would really love to do a similar thing with fruits but haven’t got a clue. Guess i’ll have to just do a bit of trial and error.

    Thanks again!

    • textuts says:

      Hello Kay,

      Thank you so much for the comment :D
      Try collecting some images to help you understand the details of what you’re trying to create, then try using the different elements to achieve that. Experience will definitely make this a lot more easier, but trial and error is one way of becoming more experienced :)
      Hopefully you’ll create a nice effect.

      Thanks once again.

  30. Nariman says:

    Thank you very much, it’s beautiful & pro.

  31. ebonywolf says:

    Hi, I love your tutorial! But I tried this with Photoshop Elements 8, and Elements doesn’t have everything CS5 has, so halfway through I got lost and the result came out nowhere near the final product. I was just wondering, do you think I could still do it with Elements 8? Thanks!

    • textuts says:

      Thanks a lot for the comment :)

      I’m not really that familiar with PSE, but I think that there are some missing parts that would make the result a bit different.
      Can you please tell me exactly where did things start getting different? Or what exactly is not found or missing?

      Regards.

  32. Stranger man says:

    Hi, textuts. I love this site as well as loving other sites. Thanks for the tutorial.
    By the way, let me ask you a question: I want to be reminded of these tips and download via email. How do I do?
    (Sorry for my bad English, I’m Vietnamese)

    • textuts says:

      Thank you so much for your comment, glad you do.

      As for your question, if you mean that you’d like to receive an email whenever a new post is published, then you can enter your email address here, and you’ll get the updates via email.

  34. Miss Ai says:

    Hey! This tutorial looks really great, but I have a problem… The chocolate pattern? Where can I get it…? I use photoshop CS5.1, and I am new to it, but I dont know if I am a fast learner or if its your amazing tutorials!! Thank you so much :)

    • textuts says:

      Thank you so much for your kind words :)
      As for the pattern, it is available for download under the Resources section at the beginning of the tutorial. Just unzip it and load it (Edit -> Preset Manager -> Choose Pattern from the Preset Type drop down menu -> Click the Load button to the right, then navigate to where you saved the pattern file, click Load -> Done), and now the pattern will be available when you apply the Layer Style.

      Hope this helps.

    Hi,
    I have a question on chocolate-bar-text-effect,
    Could you please send the psd file source,
    Regards,

  48. hanne says:

    i’m already stuck on step 2, whe i color in the edge with the color 88888 it gets a checker pattern?
    it’s not one color it has fine white lines :/

    • textuts says:

      When you pick the Paint Bucket Tool, make sure that the fill type in the Options bar (at the top) is set to Foreground not Pattern.

      Hope this helps, but if the problem still exists please feel free to add a reply.

  49. Bryn says:

    I’ve been doing these tuts for a while now, and I must say that this was one of the best:
    Create Work Path, Motion Blur for for a shadow, the Emboss contours – some really great techniques…

    Thanks!

  50. Dean says:

    Thank you for such a brilliant tutorial – it’s easily one of the best PS tuts on the internet. Somewhat advanced in scope but done in such a fashion that I’d imagine anyone could do.

    Two questions I had when doing mine –
    1) When creating the chocolate pattern, I didn’t see how to create the vertical lines in the middle of the pattern to complete the look. I just added more pixel wide selections but perhaps because I had ‘Add to Selection’ on it didn’t come through in the finished pattern.
    2) I had trouble on the filling layer where you create the stroke path with that customized brush. I think I followed the steps correctly but when I finished creating the stroke path after the other steps it worked fine but the result was barely visible. I checked that my opacity was 100% and I don’t think I changed the blending mode from Normal so I’m not sure why it came out hardly visible. Anyways, I just duplicated the layer a few times and arrived at a similar product so all good.

    Thanks again for a GREAT lesson!

      As for the lines, it seems like the step that explains how to create them was missing for some reason! (Sorry for that). But I fixed it now, and as you mentioned, you just need to use the “Add to Selection” to create the rectangles and fill them.

      Thanks again for the comment.

    ^^^ Nevermind my 2nd question above – I had only looked at the layer opacity not the actual brush opacity. Fixed and looking better than ever – thanks again!

    Thankyou.V.nice design
    But what is the need of step 2?

    • textuts says:

      Step 2 is for creating the pattern that is used later to create the chocolate bar (with the layer styles).

      Thanks for the comment.

    can u upload it for me ?

    thank u man :D

      The pattern should be loaded first. To do so, go to Edit -> Preset Manager, and choose “Patterns” from the “Preset Type” drop down menu. Then, click the little arrow to the right of the Preset Type drop down menu, and click “Patterns” near the bottom of the pop-up menu. When the dialog box appears after that, just click Append, and you’ll get the pattern.

      Thanks for the comment.
      I’m a girl though :)

    • textuts says:

      … As for the letters, I guess you mean the smaller ones. When you use smaller font sizes you should use smaller values for all the layer styles too. An easy way to scale a layer style down is to right click the “fx” icon on the right side of the layer, and choose Scale Effects…. In the Scale Layer Effects dialog box, you can scale the Layer Style up to 1000% or down to 1%. So scale it down until it looks good.

      Hope this helps.

      If the problem still exists please feel free to add a reply.

    first i’am sorry my lady :D

    • textuts says:

      No problem ^_^

      As for scaling layer styles, please check this article I wrote for inspirationfeed.com, Tip 5: Scaling Layer Styles. This will help you understand what I mean.

      If it doesn’t, please leave a comment with the point you found unclear.

      It is better to leave comments here so that everyone can benefit, especially those who are facing the same problem.

      Regards.

    Hi, this is actually a very outstanding tutorial, and I really like it. But the link for the bow set 2 is somehow broken and the file could not be found, so can you check the link again, thank you and again, great tutorial.

    • textuts says:

      Thank you for your kind words.

      I posted a direct link to the set but it also doesn’t seem to work anymore, as the deviation has been deleted.

      But you can use any other bow such as this one, or this set.

      Hope this helps.

      Thanks once again.

    This is amazing, but all of the pictures seem be broken? They aren’t showing up, I followed along to the best of my ability without them for a while but it seems I can’t grasp without the visual descriptions I’m used to haha regardless, great tutorial :)

    • textuts says:

      They are showing fine for me :(

      I haven’t received any notes regarding the images not showing. Did you check your browser settings (no images browsing)? Can you see the images in the header and the sidebar?

      I really wish I can help but the images do show up for me and in different browsers, so hopefully you’ll be able to find a way to see them as well.

      Thank you for the comment :)

    Can you update the bow link?

    • textuts says:

      The original set isn’t available anymore.
