Japanese Style Volume Effect Background

In this simple tutorial I’ll show you how to make some cool Japanese style background what will looks as volume.

First, start by creating a new document, I’ve used a document size of 500×500 pixels and fill it with color of #04223f:

After that get out the Horizontal Type Tool and write out the text with black color in the top of canvas. Use hieroglyphs font such as Japanese for this tutorial. Feel free to download it from here.

    Hey man, do you really know Japanese? That’s Chinese, OK? And this tutorial is very simple,
    这是中文，不是日语。日文是源自中文的，你把日文的汉子说成是中文尚可原谅，但是你把中文说成是日文是不可原谅的。Do you understand what i mean?
