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...
