Long Shadow Effect in Photoshop

Photoshop CC tutorial showing how to create the long shadow effect. This could be done on a logo or text.

The long shadow effect is usually seen in “Flat Design” which is a style that removes any effect that gives three-dimensions to an illustration, such as gradients, textures and bevels. Flat design focuses on a minimalist use of flat colors, and it is really popular in websites and mobile apps.

I will also show you how Smart Objects can help you in the creation of assets for mobile applications (iOS8). The template that I used in the video can be downloaded at my website. See below.
