4. Add Text

Select the Horizontal Type Tool Horizontal Type Toolin the tool bar (the Photoshop shortcut is the letter T on your keyboard).

Select your font family (A) (Ferro Rosso if you want to use the Ferrari font), font style Regular (B), font size 126 (C), anti-aliasing method Smooth (D), Left align text (E) and click on the color box (F) and select the color EFFAFE and click OK.

Type Options

We selected a light blue color to ‘reflect’ the color of a blue sky.

Now click somewhere on the left side of our image and type the word Ferrari or any other text that fits neatly inside the canvas.
Now select the Move Tool Move Tooland select the text and center it inside the canvas:

Tip: Instead of selecting the Move Tool in the tool bar, you can also hold down the Ctrl key (Command key on the Mac) while the Horizontal Type Tool is active; this will make the Move Tool temporary active (works with other tools too).
