π’ Mouse glyph trail effect (Unicorn Studio)
This time, I wanted to create something in Unicorn Studio, instead of working on websites. So this effect is mainly a mix of mouse trail and glyph dither, but there's also vignette, text, and bloom. In this case study I'll show you how to achieve this effect.

Layers
βοΈTechnical details
π I achieved the glyph trail effect by adding a glyph dither layer above the mouse trail (mouse draw on the image). Then, since the mouse trail is colourful by default, I added a duotone layer, which made the trail only one colour: it's #6D9300.
π Then, I added a text layer, and I used Space Mono font. Inside the text, there's a vignette layer, I used it to create a interactive gradient, so the vignette colour is #1f2d00, and text colour is #DEFFAB.
π At the end, I added a bloom layer, coloured #4B6700.

The final effect turned out really nice, and I hope you enjoyed this case study as I enjoyed making this effect π !
