Perspective text effect

In this Photoshop tutorial you will learn how to create a perspective text effect. Perspective text is when the text appears smaller in the distance. For this effect you need to rasterize the layer as you cannot perform transforms on a normal text layer.

Perspective text effect

Step 1

Open a new Photoshop document with 640 x 480 dimensions.
Select your text tool and type your message on the stage. I have used Myriad Pro font type, but you can use whatever font type you wish.




Step 2

Choose Layer > Rasterize > Type. This will allow you to perform the perspective transform to the text.


Step 3

Choose Edit > Transform > Perspective. Select the bottom right handle and drag it upwards and you should notice the text message appear smaller in the distance. You can create as big or small perspective effect as you wish.




Step 4 – optional

If you wish to add colour you can add Layer > Layer Style > Blending Option. Check the colour overlay box and change the colour to whatever you wish.



You now have a persepective text effect
