Now let's go ahead and put our type into place. I am going to create a brand new layer and I'm going to call it milk. Actually I'm not going to do that because the type tool will do that for me. So I'm gonna click on the type tool and I'm gonna click right about here on the bottom of my layer and I'm going to type the word milk using marker felt. If you don't have this font choose something that's going to give you a nice fun feel so it's kind of bulky, thick. I'm using marker felt and 150 point, even with the thin uh type it still looks pretty good with marker felt. So I'm not going to choose the bolder example of it, because their both pretty bold. I'm also using all lowercase letters and now I'm gonna move that over and position it right about here, try to center that with my eye, eyeball it. Sometimes when you're in uh graphic design you don't you know manually uh measure everything with a ruler. You look at it, you try to look at the space and try to eyeball it yourself and see whether it's centered or not and sometimes you don't want it to be exactly centered based on the way that the lettering looks because this k takes up a lot of space and makes a nice design on, on its own with the negative space and positive space we're dealing with. So what I'm gonna do is turn this text into pixels. So we're gonna go to the layer menu, we're gonna choose rasterize and we're gonna choose type. Now our milk is no longer editable type. What we're gonna do now is grab the magic wand tool, that's right I said magic wand, not the quick selection tool cause I know how jealousy is now because we're using the old tools, so sorry about that. Now I'm gonna click on the M, I'm gonna hold down the shift key and grab the rest of the letters and I'm gonna save this as a selection because you never know when you are a client wants you to come back and modify this text. So I'm gonna type milk and I'm gonna say ok, now that I have that what I'm gonna do is I'm going to make a new layer and on this layer we're going to fill this selection with white. So as you see I'm on a new layer and with that new layer that selection stays there and I'm gonna fill this in with white just like the uh rasterized type and what we are gonna do here is we are gonna drop down the fill and I also want you to rename this layer effect. Now that we have this set up we are gonna grab our styles here, our layers styles and we are gonna choose bevel and emboss. And as you see already look at them bottom down there, we have a nice effect, we have a lot of bulk and we have a lot of depth already. But we are gonna increase the depth a little bit and we are gonna increase the size of this effect to try to get a more liquidy feel to it and you have to experiment with that actually just to find a right amount of size and soften it a little tiny bit as well to make it look like there is some liquid in there. I'm gonna try to match the lighting as well and the shadow is way, way, way too harsh for this example. So what I am gonna do is I'm gonna grab the swatch here where it says shadow mode and move my mouse outside and click under the shadow by the bowl to try to emulate that nice grayish shadow because that black shadow is not going to work for us and what we are gonna do at this point. Is we are gonna just once again experiment with the size and the depth to try to get a liquidy feel and I think that looks about good, we have a depth of 211 percent, the direction is up not down although down would work to but the shadows is in the wrong position. We can also increase the size to about 9 pixels and I softened it to about four pixels. Now what I would like to do at this point is see whether contour is gonna help out. This will give me a little bit more of that bulk and that depth and I think contour might work for me so I'm gonna leave that on. Don't forget we can always come back here and turn that off. And once again the angle for the global light is going to be 90 percent or 90 degrees and let's see here the multiply mode don't forget we have it on multiply but we changed the swatch here to match the shadow in the bowl area. Once we are happy with that let's click OK and move on to the next part.
