How can i make these in photoshop


renpei, I would suggest you start with one effect at a time and get some individual feedback. They don't all use the same techniques and unless you are experienced in Photoshop, you will not be able to follow or understand all the instructions. Besides, I doubt anyone will try to explain them all to you. My suggestion is to go to text tutorials and look for similar techniques. Find fonts you like at a site like Dom suggests or dafont.com, etc. Then you may want some advice on furthering the backgrounds, just not all at once, lol. Here are a couple collections of text effects:

More specifically, how would I get the background in this graphic? and the overlay on the text?
Click to expand...
BG effect Id say is many rectangles in white in different Opacities.. or a pattern like that. The lighting on the left is 3 big white rectangles with Gradient on them to make them transparent gradiently... opacity varies too.

Font I don't know but text is also either different green color rectangles overlayed on it. Blended in or used clipping masks..

Then there are some grunge brushes in white and lowered opacity probably painted over the bg. Some sparkle brushes too maybe..

Hope it helps
 
Another technique I think is used here is for the rays that are an "overlay."

Make a selection area using polygonal lasso so that it creates this angle. Take a soft brush in white or pale gold or whatever color you want, make the brush a low opacity, brush inside the selection with white, then brush at a higher opacity along the edge of the selection. Or you can do the fill on one layer and the edge glow on another. Then you can experiment with adding inner or outer glows to that. Do each overlay on a separate layer is my suggestion. It isn't necessary but you can experiment and compare that way.

I'll make something to demo this in a bit.
 
Made these darker (more opaque) than you would want in order to demonstrate for you.

The red arrow points to the polygonal lasso shape for the green color; each dot being where you click the lasso till you make a selection.

Choose your color and paint with a soft brush over the whole area, using 10% opacity. Move out a little at a time increasing the opacity by about 20% each time, then at 100%, give the edges the glow you want.

Make another layer and another, smaller selection like the one I did in gold. Make them any size you want so you get the effect you want. The principle is the same.

I tried the inner and outer glows. They don't help. Actually ruin the edge effect.

If the effect ends up too deep color/density, lower the opacity of the layer.

The text colorization may well be a pattern which, as Adrijus said, is clipped to the text layer.
