the making of 'bellissimo'

My logo is basically a simple font and was really easy to make in photoshop. I was try8ing to recreate the first one as I couldn’t take it apart.

I started off with a simple font ‘minion pro’ and the font size as 61.33pt. I made it in capital letters so it was able to stand out with the black colouring. 

I then changed the font size to 60pt for a better size and I changed the tallness of the letters and I also changed the spacing to give it a bit of an effect. Here I duplicated the word, and changed the font colour from black to white. 

 

 

 

Then I selected my word, went to effects, when to blur and then blur motion so it the word would be blurry. 

 

Then I simply brought the black one in front of the white one and slightly shifted the white one to the right as if it would create a little shadow behind. It was also a way of making the logo stand out more with a white outline of sorts, which is why the background had been changed to grey so it could be seen properly.
