It's not perfect, but not bad for 10 minutes.



Let me know if you want to know how I did it.

Here's the psd: http://bry.oybro.com/bblite-main.psd

Sweet! I'm glad that worked out.

What I did (Bear with me, I'm typing this from memory...):

Code:
- Googled for the font because I didn't have it.

- Opened your psd.

- Copied the original text layer and typed your text in the copied layer.

- Made a copy of the copied text layer.

- Rasterized the 2nd copy, locked trasparent pixels, painted it white, and set it behind the un-rasterized text layer.

- Set a white stroke (forgot how big) on the rasterized type.

- Made a new blank layer and set it below the rasterized type.

- Selected the rasterized type and hit ctrl+e to merge the rasterized type with the blank layer. (This flattens the styling so you can't edit it anymore. I'll get to the reasoning for this in the next step.)

- Set a 1 pixel gray stroke on the rasterized type. (I flattened the two layers in the last step so I could add the gray stroke here. You can't have two strokes on one layer.)

- Set a gray outer glow on the rasterized type.

- Made a new blank layer on top of the rasterized type.

- Took a dark gray spatter brush (Can be found in the standard brushes file) and clicked a few times on the blank layer in the middle of the rasterized type layer. More gray in the center, and a little less on either side of the center (Sort of like a gradient from the center out.)

- Went to Filter -> Blur -> Motion Blur (Angle 0 - Distance 100)

- Held Ctrl and clicked the rasterized text layer.

- Grabbed the marquee tool, right clicked the selection, and hit Select Inverse from the right click menu.

- Made sure I had the blurred spatter brush layer selected and pushed delete.

- Deselect.




I think that was it. Let me know if any of the steps confused you. It's 3 am, so I'm not sure if I'm being as clear as I could be...


thehermit- Free amd for me? Have the on-staff teaboy fix me a cup.
