In this tutorial we will be working on a Star Wars text effect.
Step 1
Start with a new black document. Mine is 1024×768.
Step 2
Before you can do anything you will need the Star Wars Font. I found it on http://www.dafont.com/.
Now write you text. What I have in mind is to make a nice grunge text to use for a Clone Wars Poster.
Step 3
Double click on the layer to enter the Blending Options menu. Here use my settings:
Step 4
Next you need to duplicate the layer by clicking Ctrl + J. In the Blending Options Menu use these settings:
Step 5
Set the Fill of the layer to 0%.
Step 6
Next I will add some more text and place it on the bottom of the Clone Wars text. Also I will use some different settings:
Step 7
In the next step I will use the Rectangle Tool to make some simple shapes.
Step 8
Now for all these 3 shapes add my settings for the Blending Options.
Step 9
Make a new layer over all the layers and name it Gold.
Ctrl + Click on all the layer thumbnails to make a selection.
Step 10
Next go to Select - Modify - Expand and use 3 pixels.
Step 11
Make sure you have the Gold layer selected.
Set the foreground color to #fcff00 and fill the Gold layer with this color.
Step 12
Set the layer to Soft Light and Opacity to 35%.
Step 13
Make a new layer and name it texture.
Fill the layer with #7e4f2f. Next go to Filter - Noise - Add noise and use my settings.
Step 14
Next go to Filter - Blur - Motion Blur and again use my settings:
Step 15
Next you need to add one more effect to this texture. Go to Filter - Sharpen - Unsharp Mask and again use my settings:
Step 16
Ctrl + Click on the Gold layer thumbnail to make a selection. Now
that the text is selected make sure you have the texture layer selected
and Add a layer Mask. Last set the layer to Overlay.
Step 17
Next I will bring in a texture that I found on this link: http://www.sxc.hu/browse.phtml?f=view&id=599574
I have imported the texture to the document and resized it so it
will fit into my image size. Next you need to go to Image - Adjustments
- Desaturate to make the image Black and White.
Step 18
Again as we did with the first texture we need to make a selection
of the text and Add a Mask to the layer. So please do that right now.
Basically you will repeat Step 16 but this time for a different layer.
Step 19
The last thing we will do for this second texture is to set it to 63% Opacity and Overlay.
Final
You are finished. If you want you can add some more lights or shadows to the text.
Thank you for reading.
