In this tutorial you will learn how to create this nice text effect.

This text looks great on grunge signatures!

Lets get started by opening a new document, I used a 200*150 size doc.

Take out some grunge brushes and brush a bit on the background, so it gets the look of a wall.

Of course feel free to use your own signatures for this, or get a wall stock from google.

This is the background im going to use: (if you dont want to make your own just save my background to your computer and open it with photoshop)

Now on a new layer type some text, I used the font “ravie”, but of course feel free to use your own fonts!
Just make sure you make the text big enough so its easy to read.

With your text layer selected, go to blending options:

Now use the following settings:(you can change these to make your text darker/lighter, just play a bit around to see what each setting does)

If you did everything correct, your text will now look like this:

Now set your layer mode to overlay like I did here. This way the background will show through the text, giving it a nice grunge look. Now you have finished your graffiti text
