Tutorial: Splodge Text

Make some green, funny, sort of, um....text.
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 green (#A8D59D) (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

Now choose FILTER > BRUSH STROKES > DARK STROKES and the settings:

Balance = 5
Black Intensity = 0
White Intensity = 2
Kill your selection (CTRL + D).

Just changing the color makes different interesting text effects. The one above didn't have the last step applied.
