made real quick in an hour or so...
text along path, lighting effects, (kitsch) chrome curves, G'MIC light ray, various motion blurs

I can't read it because I don't know German (I assume it's German :S), but I think it looks nice!
I think the bevel might be a little too...uhm..I don't know how to say, kinda too bubbly, but that's probably preference!

Good work!

Super cool Esper! That center text looks really great too.

Amazing. The receiver will love it.

I think this would look amazing printed on photo paper - and even more amazing as a metallic print, for example, on Kodak Endura Metallic paper (you may need a professional printer to do this)

yes its german (all the best for your 41st birthday)

i dont have much control over the bevel in lighting effects, plus anisotropic smoothing, so there is nothing i could do to change that


it would be tiny, thats the original pixelsize
i tried to make a Din-A-4 sized card once, wasnt much fun
dont think i will do it again
but nice idea anyway !

@Wallace: thanks, glad you like it !

@sallyanne: thanks, no feedback from him yet, could be he is on holidays

There is a way to do this by letting the light filter use another channel or layer as a map.


Results (you could use a much more detailed or better map for a much better outcome)

Nice results Esper.

thats exactly what i did, Rod
