Im so excited about sharing stuff so cooooooool.. check this out! Here's one of favorite tutorials and if you do it, you would be surprised what you can do as you go along.

I want everyone who has photoshop to try this out and post your results so we can see. This is really easy to do if you follow my stuff.. I think you can understand (I use babelfish when I have trouble with words) dohhh! Okay. I wont do the first one because it doesn't take me but a sec. I will do the 5th one. Hows that?

LETS GET GRAPHIC!! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
===================================
If you dont have photoshop, let me know I paid for mine and haven't registered it yet and I'm willing to share it! I paid $299.00 for it and Im gonna get my worth from it...its rather expensive I would say

===================================
Step 1

Open a new RGB document about 300x300px or do ctrl+N and type your text in white on a black background. Rasterize the text layer.


Step 2

Select your text layer (CTRL + click on layer icon).

Inverse the selection (Shift + CTRL + I).

Fill the selection with black (Shift + F5).

Hit CTRL + D to deselect.

Now use the magic wand tool to select all letters of our text (hold down Shift).

Use Filter --> Blur --> Gaussian Blur with a radius of 3.

Hit CTRL-D to cancel the selection.



Step 3

Apply Filter --> Stylize --> Solarize

Use Auto Levels (Shift + CTRL + L) to make it look better

It should look something like this now:



Hit CTRL + D to cancel the selection

Step 4

Use Filter --> Stylize --> Wind (from the left.)

Rotate Canvas bei 90 degree (Image --> Rotate Canvas) and do it again (CTRL - F)

Repeat until you applied wind in all 4 possible positions and the canvas is rotated back to the normal position.


It will look like this now:



Step 5

Now use Filter --> Stylize --> Glowing Edges with these or slightly different settings:



Step 6

Now all that's left to do is picking a cool color (CTRL-U)

I used this red:


That's the shock text you will get when you pick the same red.
