Step 1:

Start by filling the Background with the color#724c21.

Then, create the text using the color#ee9b0f. Very thin fonts do not suit this effect, so

make sure to pick a pretty bold font. The font used here isFontleroy Brown NFand the

size is 1000px.

Duplicate your text layer, and make the copy invisible (by clicking on the eye icon next

to it).

Step 2:

Double click on the original (visible) text layer, and apply the following styles:

- A Drop Shadow using the color#71511b.

- An Inner Shadow, using the color#ffa508. Change the Distance to 0, and the Size to

32px.

- Bevel and Emboss. Change the Size to 29px, the Softness to 16px, and use the color

#ef9508 for the Shadow Mode.

- Finally, apply Satin, change the Blend Mode to Color Dodge, the color to #705737,

and the Contour to ConeInverted.

Step 3:

Ctrl + Click on the original text layer thumbnail to create a selection.


5/14

Create a new layer above the text layer and rename it to Noise. Fill the selection with

the original text color#ee9b0fand make sure that its the Foreground color as well, and

set the Background color to White. Then go to Filte -> Noise -> Add Noise. Change

the Amount to 150 %, make sure that the Distribution is Gaussian, and check the

Monochromatic box.

Step 4:

With the Noise layer still active, zoom in (Ctrl + +) until you are able to see the

pixels. Grab the Magic Wand Tool, remove the check next to Contiguous on the

options bar (this will let all the pixels of the same color range be selected, whether theyare adjacent or not), and select the darkest pixel or group of pixels. Then, hit Delete.


6/14

Change the Noise layerBlend Mode to Soft Light, and the Fill value to 50 %.

Step 5:

- Well create the lines right now. So create a new documents that is 110 by 50 px, and

set the Background Contents to Transparent, so that youll be able to see the pixels.

- Draw a rectangle using the Rectangle Marquee Tool. You can display the Info

palette form the Window menu to help you make sure that the rectangle width is 50 px.

Place the rectangle (or the square) at the center of the layer, then fill it with the color

#e8641b.

- Remove the selection (press Ctrl + D), and go to Edit -> Define Pattern and type in

the name of the pattern.

Step 6:

Go back to the original document, and create a new layer on top of the Noise layer.

Call it Lines.

With the Paint Bucket Tool Selected, change the fill type to Pattern, and choose the

one youve just created.

Fill the Lines layer with the pattern.

Step 7:


9/14

Go to Edit -> Transform -> Rotate or press Ctrl + T to rotate the lines until you think

the result is good. Hit Enter to confirm.

Then, Ctrl + Click again on the original text layer thumbnail (or icon) to create a

selection. Make sure the Lines layer is active (selected), go to Select -> Inverse, and

hit Delete.

Press Ctrl+D to remove the selection.

Step 8:

Double click on the Lines layer to apply the following styles:

- Add an Inner Shadow. Change the color to #ba8c73, and the Distance and Size

values to 4px.


10/14

- Add Bevel and Emboss. Change the Style to Pillow Emboss, the Size to 3px, the

Soften value to 1px, and the Shadow Mode color to #ba8c73.

- Finally, add Satin. Change the Blend Mode to Overlay, the color to #fff8ad, and the

Contour to Shallow SlopeValley.

Youll end up with something like this:

Step 9:

Now, we need to go back to the duplicated text layer we created back in Step 1, and

make it visible once again.

Change its Fill value to 0, and double click to apply the following styles:


12/14

- Bevel and Emboss. Change the Depth to 450, the Size to 10, remove the check next

to Use Global Light, and change the Angle to 100, and the Altitude to 30, use Log for

the Gloss Contour, and assign 0 for the Opacity value of the Shadow Mode.

- As for the Contour just check the Anti Alias box.

Step 10:


13/14

Add a layer above the Background layer, set the Forground color to Black, and with

the Gradient Tool, choose the Foreground to Transparent fill, click on the Radial

Gradient icon, and check the Reverse box.

Starting from the center of the layer, click and drag to one of its corners to create the

gradient fill. Change the Blend Mode of the layer to Soft Light.

And this is the final result once again.
