Line which is entwining with text
In this tutorial we'll learn how to make this effect

Go to the FILE - NEW option (CTRL + N) and insert value of 600px for width and 200px for height. For the background we are going to use white color.
Click OK.
Now use text tool (T on the keyboard) and insert some text in color you like. We will use black color for text.

After this we'll need to pick Pen Tool (P) and draw a nice curve.


Now we need to make a new layer for these curve and we can do it by pressing CTRL + SHIFT + N on keyboard and entering the name of layer. We'' call it "Curve" and click on OK.

Be sure that leyer "curve" is selected and then go to the PATH palette. You will see layer called "Work path". Before clicking on black arrow you have to select brush tool (B) and then select the shape, size and color of a brush. We'll use hard round size 19 brush and red color.
Now click on black arrow and select Stroke path.

For tool option use Brush and check Simulate pressure. Now click OK.

You'll see a nice curve over our text. Click on Delete key on your keyboard so we delete our path becouse we won't be needing it anymore.
Go to the leyers, press CTRL and click on text layer. This will select text. Now with this selection click on "curve" layer and select eraser tool (E).
On "curve" layer erase some parts of curve that are going over letters.

Some FAQ's
May I publish your tutorial(s) on my website?
NO - DEFINITELY MAY NOT! I don't mind, of course, any form of back link to Digital Photo News tutorials section, but taking any one of the tutorials whole and supplanting it on your website is theft. If you really like the tutorials and want to advertise them, why not just hyperlink directly to their URL?
Is it possible to submit some of my own tutorials?
Yes! I love to add new and original tutorials to ever-growing database! If you would like to submit a tutorial, fill in the contact form with as much detail as you can manage and we'll get back to you with details. There's no need to stick to a specific format when submitting, as we will do all the boring work for you if needed... and fully credit you as the author on your tutorial pages if your submission is accepted.
Can I request a tutorial?
Of course you can! I make no guarantees i'll be able to get around to your specific tutorial in any given timeframe, but I listen to audience, and if there is demand out there for a guide to a specific technique/effect, I'll be only too glad to offer my assistance. Just ask via the contact form.
