| TEXT EFFECTS - VARIOUS 1 |
With this tutorial I'll teach you how to use the same effects as the image below. Step 1 --> Copy the text and paste it on the scan.  Step 2 --> Go to Layer --> Layer Style --> Pattern Overlay.  Step 3 --> Choose a pattern from your list that looks like the one that has been used in the original.  Step 4 --> When you're done click on 'OK.' Click with your mouse on the move tool.  Step 5 --> Go with your mouse near the text till it changes into the icon of the below given example.  Step 6 --> Click on your left mouse and hold it like that. Now move your mouse a little up. On top of your screen you'll see the toolbar for rotation. You can also type in the degrees you want to use. I'm using -15.  Step 7 --> Hit on the 'Enter'-key to apply the transformation. Step 8 --> Add an effect by warping the text. This is the style I use.  Step 9 --> Look at your layer panel. Select the 'Smash' layer, right click and click on 'Duplicate Layer.'  Step 10 --> Click on 'OK' in the following window.  Step 11 --> Go to Layer --> Layer Style --> Blending Options.  Step 12 --> Set your 'Fill Opacity' to zero.  Step 13 --> Add a black stroke of 2px. When you're done click on 'OK'.  So far everything should look like this.  Step 14 --> Click on the 'Move Tool' and move the text close to the 'pattern-text'. Like this.  ...And we're done. |
