Step 7: To get the full effect, you gotta add that awesome Final Fantasy text. Enter the value you want, or select it in the spectrum and there you go! To change colors, click on the tiny colored “stop” and click on the color box to open up the color window. From there, you can toy around with each individual “color stop”, indicating how much of each color you want, how smoothly they transition, the colors themselves, even deleting colors you don’t want.

I already went ahead and put in a Final Fantasy XII style gradient, but I’ll show you how to edit the colors.Ĭlick on the gradient box to open up the Gradient Editor box. From here, you can change the angle of the gradient, the colors, the scale, etc. Click on Gradient Overlay to activate it. Double click on the right side of the silhouette layer in the layers panel to bring up the Layer Style menu. Step 6: Gradient time! The exciting part, the part we’ve all been waiting for. You should be left with a black silhouette of your character against a white background. At this point, we no longer need Layer 1. Right click again and select Delete Path to get rid of those boxes surrounding your character. A new window will open, make sure your settings match mine before clicking OK. Step 5: With the new layer active, select your pen tool by pressing P and right click your image. Your image is gonna look pretty funky after, with little boxes everywhere, so bear with me. In the pop-up, make your tolerance 1.0 and hit OK. Step 4: We’re getting close to the fun parts! For now, right click on your image with your selection still active and select Make Work Path. Click OK to dismiss the Color Range box and then press Shift + Ctrl/Cmd + I to invert the selection so that only the black parts of your silhouette are selected. If your preview is completely white, use the eyedropper and select the portion of your character that is black. Make sure your preview looks similar to what’s shown in mine. Next, select the Rectangular Marquee tool and go up to Select -> Color Range. Before you do this, make sure your foreground color is set to black! Check on the left side toolbar, at the bottom. Step 3: Here’s where we start creating the section of the silhouette we want to fill in with a gradient. Your character should now be completely black and white.
Find a threshold that works best for you, where not too many details are lost. To do this, go up to Image -> Adjustments -> Threshold. Step 2: To create more contrast, we’ll need to define what’s black and what’s white and eliminate the grays in the desaturated image. We need to have a solid black and white image with stark contrast in order to fill it in with a gradient later. With your image layer selected, go up to Image -> Adjustments -> Desaturate or press Shift + Ctrl/Cmd + U. Once you have your base ready, it’s time to dig in. For the background layer, it’s just solid white. I went ahead and took this shot of him doing Shadow Wall and cropped it out ahead of time in Photoshop. But if you’re interested in learning how to do this through Photoshop, read on!įor this edit, I’ll be using my own character Full-time Senpai as the backdrop for this logo. This particular edit isn’t all that difficult, and with today’s advancements in ReShade, you could even create a preset that does this for you. These logos often depict a titular character from each game, their silhouette filled in with a beautiful gradient posed behind that trademark “Final Fantasy” text we all know and love. And given that this issue’s theme is centered around all things Square Enix/Final Fantasy, my fellow staff members thought it would be cool to make this guide a how-to on creating your own Final Fantasy-style logo. Hello GPOSERS! Another issue means another Photoshop guide.
