preppy text v25 tutorial

You'll be making something like:

the steps

1. Ok so to save time, download this text psd -> {CLICK HERE}

2. Color your text like this -> {CLICK HERE}. Then, choose a font. Here's what I have so far:

3. Duplicate the layer. On the bottom layer, uncheck all the layer styles I already have on it (like the bevel & emboss, inner shadow, inner glow, pattern overlay) and now add a color overlay.

Move it to the right 2 times and down 2 times.

Duplicate the bottom layer (the one with the color overlay)

You should have 3 layers now.

On the middle layer, add glitter by clicking "Filter >> Noise >> Add Noise" >> rasterize it! >> match your settings to mine.

I have this now:

4. On the bottom layer, move it to the right 2 times and down 2 times.

5. Duplicate the top layer. This time do NOT uncheck all the layer styles. Drag the duplicated layer down to the bottom so it's the very bottom layer. Add a color over layer with the color #333333. Keep the blend mode normal. Move it to the right 8 times and down 8 times.

6. You should have 4 text layers now. Create 4 new blank layers.
Now you'll have 4 of the text layers + 4 brand new blank layers, so 8 layers total.

Merge 1 new blank layer with each text layer.

You should have 4 layers again.

Merge all 4 layers together. You should have 1 layer now.

6. Add a 2px stroke.
