Text Filled with a Spiral Gradiant
1. Create your text, using white for the font color (just for this tutorial). From the tool options, click the ‘Path from Text’ button. (This creates a path that outlines the text.)
2. Keeping on the same text layer, click ‘Select…From Path’. This selects an outline of the text.
3. Choose the Gradiant tool from the toolbox. For the gradient, choose something cool like ‘Full Spectrum’. Choose some cool shape, like ‘Spiral’.
4. With the path selected (the outline of your font), and the Gradiant tool active, drag across your font. Try it different ways, angles, distances, starting and stopping points to see how the gradiant changes.
5. Select None and flatten your layers!
