How to Create Retro Text Styles with Adobe Photoshop

Are you looking to add a touch of nostalgia to your designs? Look no further than Photoshop retro text styles! With this tutorial, you'll learn how to create and apply these eye-catching effects in just a few simple steps.

To get started, open up Photoshop and create a new file at any size you want. Then, select the Horizontal Type Tool (T) and choose a font for your text. For this example, I'll use 'Funkydori' at 380 pt with the color set to #ebdfad.

Once you've typed out your text, it's time to add some retro flair. Select the text layer and go to Layer > Layer Style > Drop Shadow. Click on the '+' sign of the Drop Shadow effect five times to create six copies of it.

Now, let's customize each copy with a different color:

* Set the first Drop Shadow effect to #f1ecde

* Set the second Drop Shadow effect to #a03613

* Set the third Drop Shadow effect to #cf621a

* Set the fourth Drop Shadow effect to #ff8e1f

* Set the fifth Drop Shadow effect to #88d2ca

* Set the sixth Drop Shadow effect to #191917

Once you've set your colors, click OK in the Layer Style Panel. Now, give your new style a name and click OK in the New Style window.

To apply the style to your text, simply type your text and select it from the Styles Panel (Window > Styles). Click on our recently made style to give the text the retro look we just created. Finally, click OK in the Layer Style Panel.
