Graphic design is not my strong point what so ever and I think a lot of people have problem with it. I often outsource my graphics work, but found a great tutorial on how to create web 2.0 style logos very easily in Photoshop CS2.

1. Download and Install style file

First of all, you will need to download a style I’ve created and load it into Photoshop.

  1. Download Photoshop style here. (Right-click -> Save as)
  2. For Photoshop CS2 users, put this style file into
    “C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe CS2\Presets\Styles”
    Photoshop of other versions, put the file inside Presets\Styles

2. Load style

Call up your Style Dialog box in Photoshop

  1. Windows -> Styles
  2. Notice a small arrow button on the top right corner. Click on it and select Load Styles from the drop down
  3. Find web20 from the list and click Load. If you don’t find web20, try close Photoshop, re-open it repeat Step 1.
  4. Click on the arrow button again and select Large List from drop down

Your result should look something similar to the image on the right.

Then all you do is use the write some text then click on a style for example ‘mixd-label’ and the text will be styled with that style!
