Cool Alphabet A

Step 1: We are about to design a cool looking alphabet A. first of all we will open a new file in Adobe Photoshop. Well create a new 266px by 270px document with a white background, and reset your background foreground colors to default (i.e. black white).

Step 2: Add a new layer on top and then select the (Swis721 BlkOul BT) font, 200pt is the font size and align it in the middle of the document.

Step 3: Select the layer of A then Ctrl + click on the layer to select A. Select gradient tool and in the gradient color option pick these colors: Dark Green = #276D25 and Green = #5C9159 put them alternate in four steps in the gradient color option. Drag by using gradient tool diagonally from bottom right to top left and deselect it.

Now go to Filters --> Blur --> Blur and to make it smooth.

Step 4: Now with the help of pen tool draw a shape as shown below in the background of "A".

Step 5: Fill it with the same gradient as we used for "A".

Step 6: Drag by using gradient tool diagonally from bottom right to top left and deselect it.

Step 7: Ok now draw the same sparkle shape object but this time make it smaller than the first one, after that by using brush or pen tool as you like draw some designs to fill color. The colors are #F1DCBF and #E4BB7F use these to fill the design.

Step 8: Now draw another sparkle shape object on the right side of letter A.

Step 9: Fill it with this color = #035200.

Step 10: After filling make the same selection by using pen tool but smaller than the previous one. Now completely select it by alt + and enter to delete the selected area in every layer just not in the last one.

Step 11: First add another layer but below all layers that we have added so far but above the last background layer and with the help of pen tool make a rounded type shape which covers the whole design as shown below.

Step 12: Double click on the layer where we have the background design and now apply outer glow effect settings as follows:

Step 13: Then also apply Bevel Emboss settings are:

Step 14: The result will be like this.

Step 15: Also reduce the outer glow settings are:

Step 16: Make multiple copies of this layer on top of the previous one and decrease the size after every copy with the help of transformation tool(Ctrl + t)

Step 17: Well copy it 5 times and the six copy will be filled by this color #48A151.

Step 18: Well After that apply Drop Shadow effect settings are:

Step 19: And this will be the final design of unusual A.
