A Nice Popup Papercraft Text Effect

Papercraft text effect

Some time ago, I wrote a tutorial showing how to create a papercraft text effect based on a design created by Mario Hugo for Wired Magazine.

This time, I created another text effect based on paper craft. A popup paper craft effect such as those found on kids books. The process is fairly simple. A couple of gradient layers and the bending of a shadow is enough to give the basic effect of a paper cut word inserted on a folded paper.

Hope you like this effect and share your results in the comments section of this post. There is a lot of room for enhancement of this effect by playing with paper textures and brushes.

Our computer screens don't always make it easy to see the damage being done to the image, but thanks to one of Photoshop's rarely-used blending modes, the horrors of jpeg compression become strikingly clear.
