How to make three-dimensional weather icons in origami style with PS

The origami characters have a sense of hierarchy. How is the word effect made? Let me introduce you now.

Methods/steps

First, create a new document, fill it with white, and the size is according to your own needs.

Then create a new layer, select the Horizontal Text Tool, and enter the text.

Fonts are more important here, and it is more appropriate to choose angular fonts, which will reduce post-processing and save time.

(See Resources for font download.)

Convert the text layer into a trajectory shape, select the direct selection tool, click on the word and points will appear, drag these points to change the shape of the word and deform the word appropriately. Not exactly the same words have different answers.

Convert all words, then rasterize the text layer.

Create a new layer and use the Rectangular Box Selection Tool to select the place where you want to add a shadow.

Use the gradient tool to pull out the effect (set the foreground color to black, change the mode from foreground color to transparent gradient, and modify the opacity).

Be patient, it's done.

Go back to the text layer, hold down Ctrl, click the text layer, and the text will be selected. Then, reverse the selection, return to the shadow layer, and press the "Delete" key to delete the shadow outside the word. All right, it's almost done.

Finally, adjust the light perception, and use the polygonal lasso to change the angle of 90 degrees to 45 degrees.
