Photoshop Tutorial: Make The Matrix Letters

[ThinkWithABossMind 0]

I took it upon myself to make visual instructions, its alot easier to understand.

 

 

ok start out with a clean WHITE background

you foreground color should be black.

and background color should be a dark green

(I use #14B908, but u can use any NEON GREEN looking color, you want something bright)

 

go to FILTER>Texture>GRAIN

make sure grain type is VERTICAL

intensity=100

contrast=48

 

next step we go to FILTER>artistic>NEON GLOW

the GLOW COLOR should be something darker (I use #185403)

glow size= -11

glow brightness=34

hit OK and

SUPRISE...the matrix reveals its secrets before your very monitor

then you just throw in some flashy letters a picture of Neo or something...and there you go.

remember kids...when in doubt

Great tutorial. Although, isn't the matrix numbers?

Actually, the matrix numbers aren't numbers either. From what I can tell, they are Japanese characters with some of them misoriented and whatnot.

 

The is a slight posibility that chinese characters were used but to the best of my recolection, Japanese katakana was used. There may have been a few hirogana characters used as well. Additionally, the writting moved in an up and down motion further suggesting an asian language.

 

I might be able to guide someone through the process of using Japanese fonts on their windows systems if they are interested.

 

 

Hope this helps.

Well, I just got a related PM about this post so I thought I should update the topic. I did write a tutorial on the installation of East Asian Fonts on your Windows System.

In order to use Japanese in PhotoShop, open a new text layer in PS and then follow the instructions in the following tutorial.

lol. i created this effect before, and i was too lazy to get japanese fonts. =PSo instead, i went into notepad, opened a picture file (i used .jpg). There will be a huge chunk of weird words. Just extract a part of them and paste it and rearrange the fonts so that they are vertical. Doesn't exactly look like the matrix's words, but hey, improvisation is fine.
