CREATE AN INTERESTING LIGHT SWIRL EFFECT IN PHOTOSHOP

In this photoshop text effect tutorial we'll be creating a grungy, burnt wood text treatment. We'll go over some basic blending modes and use some filters and layer styles to create a look that would be perfect for a Hollywood movie poster.

Step 1
The first thing we need is the background texture. I'm using a roughed up wood image created by Beyond-Oddities. Open the texture in photoshop. I resized my texture to 1200×800 for a more manageable file size.

Step 2

Now we need to add some text. Select a brown color (I'm using #47e490e) and type out some text. I'm also using Arial Black for a nice bold typeface.

Step 3

We're going to work our way from the outside inwards. Let's first create the singed effect surrounding the actual text. Command+Click the Text Layer to Make a selection of the outline of the text.

Step 4

From the Select Menu choose Modify > Expand. Expand the selection by 25px.

Step 5

Create a new layer ("singed") with this layer selected fill the selection with a dark gray (#222222). This will be used for the singed area around the burn text.

Step 6

Now we need to bring some life to the singe with a few filters. First clear the selection by pressing Command+D. With the "singed" layer selected, choose Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur. Add a 1.8 Radius Gaussian Blur. This will help take away the hard edge.

Step 7

Next we need to add some variation with a wind effect. With the "singed" layer still selected, choose Filter > Stylize > Wind. Set the direction to "from the left."

Step 8

Apply the same filter, this time with the direction "from the right." Now we have a nice grainy look to complement the burnt text.

Step 9

Change the blending mode of the "singe" layer to Color Burn and set the opacity to 30%. We just want the hint of burning.

Step 10

Now let's focus on the main text. Change the blending mode of your text layer to multiply. Now you can start to see our burn effect.
