How to Create This Image in Photoshop (Mini Guide): You can achieve this powerful effect in under 10 minutes! Start with a bright red background layer and type "BOOK" in a bold, black sans-serif font at the top. Create a new layer below the text. Use the Polygonal Lasso Tool to draw a large cone shape starting from the letter 'O' downwards. Fill it with white and lower the opacity to around 40% to create the light beam. Add a Layer Mask to your "BOOK" text layer. Use a soft black brush to gently erase the bottom of the letter 'O' so it looks like the light is coming from inside it, rather than just sitting on top. Finally, place a black silhouette of a person on a new layer at the bottom of the light beam to complete the scene. #PhotoshopTutorial #GraphicDesign #MinimalistArt #TextEffect #ConceptArt
