Burnt Text Effect--tutorial.jcwcn.com

In this tutorial, we will use Photoshop to create a burnt text effect. This will be especially useful for graphic projects or web designs that use dark themes. A black or dark background is the best application for this type of text, as it will help bring out the features of the text effect

Step 1:

Let抯 start out by creating a new file. I used a 500?00 pixels canvas set at 72dpi, and I filled my background with black color. Now make a new layer set and name it 'Burnt Text Effect'.

Select the Horizontal Type Tool then set the font family to Arial, bold, 80 pt, smooth and #5D2300 color shade. In a new text layer type your name.

Step 2:

Under Layer Style(Layer > Layer Style) add an Inner Shadow and Inner Glow blending options to your brown text layer.

Step 3:

Duplicate your brown text layer and nudge it down by a couple of pixels.

Step 4:

Now duplicate your 'Burnt' Layer Set and merge it through Layer > Merge Layer Set. Then apply a Wind filter to the layer using the settings below.

Step 5:

Under Layer Style(Layer > Layer Style) add an Inner Glow blending optios to your winded text design. Then set the layer's blending mode to Lighten.

Step 6:

Nudge the winded text layer to the right as shown below.

Step 7:

Duplicate your brown text layer design from step two then create a new layer and merge both layers. Put this layer on top of all the layers in the Layers window.
