Step 7 – Create a gradient for the text

In this step we are going to create a gradient for the main text. First select the 'Gradient Tool' from the toolbox.

Make the foreground colour white and background colour black.

On the Gradient tool's option bar click on the gradient box.

Which will open the gradient editor window. We are going to change the values of the two colour stops. Here you can see the gradient from white to black. Click on the white colour stop. On the stops sub section the colour of the current selected colour stop can be seen, in this case 'white'. Click on the 'colour' box.

Which will open the 'colour picker' window. Change the 'RGB' values to R-65,G-51,B-43. Press OK.

Now select the second colour stop.

In the colour picker window change the RGB values to R-157,G-136,B-125

Now we have created a new gradient. Change the name to 'brown gradient' and click 'new' which will save the new gradient. Then press Ok.

Ok. We have created a cool gradient. In the next step we are going to add the gradient to our main text.
