Shocking Text Effect

Make this

your goal…

Step One: First you want to open Adobe Photoshop and open a new image. Make it 400 x 400, also check off transparent then Ok. Next go Edit> Fill and click on Black. This will set the background all black.

Step Two: Next choose the text icon and choose a bold text and write a word in white lettering. I chose the Impact text and I made it 80pt. I chose to write “N-Sane”. (As Shown Below)

Step Three: Next go Layer> Rasterize> Type (As Shown Below)

Step Four: Duplicate layer “Text” and rename the duplicate “Text 2.” Hide layer “Text 2” by clicking on the eye to the left of it on the layers panel.

Step Five: Next click on the “Text” frame and then go to Layer> Merge Visible. (As Shown Below)

Step Six: Go Edit > Transform > 90 CW.
Go Filter >Stylize > Wind
With the method “Wind” and the Direction “From the Right.” Press Ctrl-F.
Now, go Filter >Stylize > Wind except this time, use the Direction “From the Left.” Press Ctrl-F

Step Seven: Go Edit>Transform > 90 CCW. Repeat step 6 except DO NOT press Ctrl-F.

Step Eight: Go Filter > Distort > Ripple

Step Nine: Go Image > Adjustments > Hue/Saturation to change the color (only do this step if you don’t want this more than black and white).

Step Ten: Next Select the “Text 2” frame and select the text and go Select>Modify>Contract and contract the selection by 2 pixels. Next after that just fill the selection with black and you’re done.
