Tutorial: Rocky Text

Similar to the 'splodge' text effect.
STEP ONE

Start with two layers on a 350x100 pixel 'canvas', both filled with black. And making sure the second (top) layer is active, select FILTER > TEXTURE > PATCHWORK and in the options that pop up select:

Square Size: 10
Relief: 18
STEP TWO

Select the 'type mask' tool () and click on your image. In the following options that appear, select a font and a size around 60 and type in your word(s). Then select OK.
STEP THREE

Press SHIFT + CTRL + I (or Select > Inverse) and hit delete to get rid of the pattern on the outside of the text. Inverse the selection again so just the text is selected again.
STEP FOUR

Create a new layer () and fill it with a light brown (#CBB99C) (fill is ALT + BACKSPACE). Make the layer mode at the top of the layer palette 'Color Dodge'.
STEP FIVE

Now make the middle layer active (layer1 - not background layer). And choose FILTER > BRUSH STROKES > ACCENTED EDGES with the following settings:
Edge width = 4
Edge Brightness = 28
Smoothness = 1

STEP SIX

Do the same as step five again (Accented Edges).
STEP SEVEN

Now goto FILTER > BRUSHSTROKES > CROSSHATCH with the following settings:

Stroke Length = 9
Sharpness = 6
Strength = 1
