Modern fonts
First determine a basic font, for example, the basic font of your first picture is Song Ti, and then the first step is to break up the text and divide the strokes into pieces that can be edited separately. In ai or cdr, this step is called turning, and in ps it is called rasterization. After breaking up, you can modify it separately. It is easier to make such changes with ai or cdr, and ps steps are a little more.
Calligraphy font
This font is a little more troublesome than the first one. Generally, you need to use a brush font as the basic font, and then, as above, you need to break up the strokes, and then use the transformation tool to deform some strokes. The last and most crucial step is to download some brushes and add some brush effects to the edges and ends of strokes, just like handwriting.
The method of font design is very simple, but it has certain requirements for personal aesthetics and creativity. I suggest reading more excellent font designs.

The words on the poster are the most important part of conveying information. So the main information such as the title should be eye-catching.
Used for toolbars.

3, add effect to the text

You can edit the selected text as needed.
Note that when you want to edit a text layer, you must first select it. Even if the text layer is selected.
Blue is selected. Just click the word layer you want to select to select it.
Note: The eyes on the left represent visibility. If you don't need a layer for the time being and want to hide it, just click your eyes.
When you have finished editing the desired layer style, press OK.
I hope you can do all kinds of layer styles yourself. I won't explain it here. If you have any questions, you can Baidu or ask me.
For example, "fish every year" has been adjusted like this:
Differences in text effects:
4. Transform the text (still on the premise that the layer is selected)
(1) toolbar line selection
Pay attention to the horizontal and vertical directions. Use it according to whether you add a horizontal or vertical typesetting layer.
(2) Edit-Transform-Deformation
Button to change the horizontal or vertical deformation. Press after deformation.
It's done.

Fourth, storage
Files are stored as or ShiftCtrlS.
Select the saved directory, change the text name, and most importantly, the storage format.
There are three commonly used:
① stored in PSD format.
Just press OK. All the layers of the file saved in this way are reserved, and you can edit and modify it on the original basis after opening it with PS. However, files in this format will take up a lot of space. If there are no images to edit, you don't need to save them as PSD to save space. ② Store in JPG format.
Just click OK again, you don't need to change any options. Images saved in this way are very common in JPG format. Small occupied space. General inkjet posters can be saved in JPG format. However, some colors in JPG format will be distorted. After saving and viewing, you will find that some colors are not satisfactory in the previous operation, which is the difference between JPG and the third TIF. In contrast, files in JPG format occupy less space than files in TIF format. ③ stored in TIF format.
The option has been changed, as shown in the figure. It is recommended to store the painted posters in TIF format when spraying in the store. Although it occupies more space than JPG, the color is not distorted.
Note: After painting the poster, it is recommended to save the image in two formats, one is PSD and the other is TIF. The former is to prevent the need to edit changes.
An inkjet poster, the simplest process is probably like this.
Others, such as the functions of various tools in the toolbar and the functions of various options in the menu bar, I hope you can try it yourself during the production process, or ask others if Baidu doesn't understand. Because PS is strong, we are small. I don't know what to say, so I concentrate on practical exercises. Besides, things like tutorials, though seemingly tedious, are really useful. You can draw according to the steps of the tutorial, so you can remember it faster.
Next, let's briefly talk about the functions of several tools.
A, rectangular box selection tool
Select a part of the image to edit. Such as copying, cutting, etc. , and you can also change its color.
Note: color change: image-adjustment-hue/saturation.
Second, lasso tools
Similar to the rectangular marquee tool. The difference is that the lasso tool can choose irregular patterns.
Third, the tool.
Note: If you want to cancel the previous operation.
① Edit-Restore State Change/Forward/Backward ② Window-History to call up the history window. If you don't need to cut this step, just click on the deformed text above to restore the state before cutting. You can also click Move to directly restore the state before the deformed text.
Fourth, paint bucket tools
Used to fill the background.
Verb (abbreviation for verb) brush tool
Six, eraser tools
Both can be as the name suggests.
Note: Any tool with a small black triangle in the lower right corner can pop up more tool options by clicking the right mouse button.
Ps How to make beautiful fonts for posters Specific steps:
1. First, create a new document with 1000X 1000 pixels.
2. Fill the background color with (#1414), enter the text you want, regardless of the font, just choose one and adjust the letter spacing.
3. Convert the text layer into a "smart object" and use the shortcut key ctrl+i to reverse it. If it is not reversed, the color in the liquefaction filter will be white, and it is not easy to recognize the effect.
4. According to your text, adjust the stroke size and pressure in the liquefaction tool. My parameters are as follows:
5. Draw the following feeling with the stroke tool. I use conservative and formal painting methods, using straight lines. If you want to make other effects, which direction can your brush go, but only if it is beautiful.
6. Return to the layer after liquefaction, copy the text layer, and then enter the liquefaction effect of the copied layer. Select Rebuild in the Brush Rebuild option to change the data, and I will change it to 80. If you want to make the fault effect more obvious, you can also change other values.
7. Turn on the layer style of the original text layer, and we turn off G and B of the channel options.
8. Turn on the copy layer layer style, and we turn off R in the channel.
9. So far, the effect is this. Here, I think the colors of red and blue are too monotonous. If I want one more color, I will turn on the hue/saturation and click my little hand to absorb the blue.
