Creating a gradient background with a spark (Page 3)

9) Now we have an amazing shining ball with a nice background. We will use the ball as a dot above the “i” letter.
Select The “Type Tool” and type “WASSIM” with capital letter. Align the text with the ball.

10) Select the layer that contains the text. From the menu above select Layer -> Layer Style -> Blending Options. Make selections for “Inner Shadow”, “Outer Glow”, “Bevel and Emboss” and “Gradient Overlay”. No need to change anything just keep the default values.

11) Now that’s nice, but to make something special, select the Background Layer. From the menu above choose Filter -> Render -> Lens Flare.

12) A dialog box appears, adjust it as the following image.

Now Click ok. You will get something similar to the following image.

That’s it. Try it out :)
