A few weeks back, we embarked on an exciting journey together, exploring the realm of golden text effects in Photoshop. Using layer styles, we converted everyday text into a lustrous gold that truly caught the eye. The process was simple yet rewarding, kind of like discovering a hidden gem in the vast mine of digital design.
However, in an era dominated by generative AI, we often find ourselves questioning the longevity of such skills. Will there be a day when the art of manual digital design becomes a mere echo of the past, much like an ancient scroll in a high-tech world? It’s akin to the evolution of the culinary world, where despite the inundation of processed foods, there's an undeniable charm and sense of satisfaction in a home-cooked meal. Could it be that we, as graphic designers, will remain the equivalent of the home chefs in this AI-dominated world?
Though such questions are fascinating, they're not the main focus of today's discussion. We’re here to delve into a new chapter, exploring the potential of Figma. Yes, you read that right. I’ve recreated our spectacular gold text effect in Figma.
The transition to Figma wasn’t a smooth ride. It involved intricate manipulation of fill and stroke gradients, battling the almost rebellious nature of vectors. However, the end result? It was as splendid as a gold nugget in a prospector's pan! It's not only visually appealing but also retains the adaptability that’s essential in today's dynamic world.
So, I warmly invite you to try out the golden text effect in Figma. It's professional, it's sleek, and it's delightfully scalable. You can download it right here.
Go ahead, add this shimmering touch to your design repertoire, and make your creations stand out in the crowd. Remember, no matter what tools we use - be it AI, Photoshop, or Figma - our creative spirit is the driving force behind the masterpieces we craft. So, let’s keep on designing, keep on innovating, and most importantly, keep having fun while doing it!
Until our next adventure in the expansive universe of design. Stay golden, my friends!
