Winded Text Effect
Summary:
Here is a nice little text effect tutorial that you can use in your web design projects. Basically, this effect adds a windy filter effect to every side of your typed letters.
Step-By-Step Instructions:
1. Open a new document in Photoshop. Set the width/height to 300x300px.
2. Make sure the canvas background is the color you want.
3. Select the Type tool and type a letter into a new layer.
4. Select the type layer, so it is active. Then click Ctrl+E to merge the text layer with the background.
5. Goto Filter > Stylize > Wind. Set the Method to "Wind". Set the Direction to "From the Right". Click OK.
6. Click Ctrl+F to apply the Wind filter to the letter again.
7. Goto Image > Rotate Canvas > 90deg. CW.
8. Click Ctrl+F twice to apply the Wind filter to the letter at this angle.
9. Goto Image > Rotate Canvas > 90deg. CW.
10. Click Ctrl+F twice to apply the Wind filter to the letter at this angle.
11. Goto Image > Rotate Canvas > 90deg. CW.
12. Click Ctrl+F twice to apply the Wind filter to the letter at this angle.
13. Finally, goto Image > Rotate Canvas > 90deg. CW one last time. You should now have your winded text effect.
14. To apply your winded text to any background image, simply open the background photo. Paste the text onto the background.
15. In the layers palette, goto the "Blending Mode" dropdown box and choose "Lighten". The black background should disappear, revealing only the text over the background image.
