Pattern overlay effect.
PATTERN OVERLAY TEXT EFFECT
Hello, darlings. I have
been asked to create a tutorial for text effect, so if you desire to create a
somewhat stoned or cracked effect to your text and have the following outcome, follow the steps in this tutorial:
When you
have found a good resource image, open it in your Photoshop program and then go
into Edit -> Define Pattern...
It will
save the image in the folders of the program and show it as an available
pattern. After which you are ready to apply it to your text (which you must
create, at first, of course, using the Type Tool). To open the Layer Style
window click twice on the layer of the selected text and then go into "Pattern
Overlay". I usually never change the Blend Overlay mode, but you can play
around with it to see which effect suits you better. However, the most
important part is the Overlay image selected - you will see a little square
with an image in it - click on the image and then select the one you have
created into a Pattern. There, it should apply the Pattern to the text.
To give the
text a more lively effect - apply a shadow to it. It usually looks prettier
with a shadow.
