I've been asked before how I've done text, and I couldn't find my little piece of notebook paper where I wrote down the directions for myself, so I decided to make a tutorial for it and share!

Photoshop styles are fuuuun to play with.

Note: This is done with Photoshop CS3, and although other versions of Photoshop will be able to do this, certain commands and stuff may be different.

Resources:
(my website is down so I'm unable to upload the fonts and styles to a good place right now I'll edit this when I can.)
Font (Cooper Black) : [link]
Styles: [link]
Texture: [link] (note: I did not create this texture, and I forget where I downloaded it from.)
Text Style settings: [link]
Stroke Style settings: [link]

Feel free to play around with this a bit to create your own unique text! This is just how I do it and is by no means the only way to do it. If you happen to use this tutorial to make text, you're not obligated to credit me, but a link back to my dA is always nice.

If you guys like this I might do some other text tutorials too!
