Between each word, put two spaces, then a "|" (Shift-Backslash).

If the option is visible, change the "Tracking" from 0 to about 500, to space the letters out. Using a serif (curly) font (Times New Roman, or preferably Palatino Linotype), type in your heading. (I chose green here, firstly because it's nice to get away from blue, and secondly because dark green and dark purple are excellent for giving a regal appearance.) 2 – The yellow text In Photoshop, create a new Image, 500 pixels wide, and 300 - 500 pixels high.Ĭhoose the Gradient Tool, and use it to fill the area with a gradient from very dark green to a midtone green.
