Design Simple Grungy Text Effect with Custom Brush in Photoshop


In this tutorial, I will show you the steps I took to Design Simple Grungy Text Effect with Custom Brush in Photoshop. This is an beginner level tutorial and I endeavour to explain each step in details. Hope you enjoy it :)
Along the way, we will use some custom brushes and try to apply them to font in order to create unique looking effect. We will also use some basic Photoshop functions such as layer mask, image adjustments and filter effect.
To spread the word about a campaign use Next Day Flyers’ glossy posters, they’re printed fast and the prices can’t be beat.
Here is a preview of the final effect I have for this tutorial: (click to enlarge)

OK Let’s get started!
To complete this tutorial, you will need the following stocks:

Step 1

Create a new document with black background (size doesn’t really matter in this tut), load the stone texture into Photoshop, select a portion as shown below:
1 select 500x323 Design Simple Grungy Text Effect with Custom Brush in Photoshop
Copy and paste the selection onto our document, resize it to fit our canvas size:
1 paste2 500x289 Design Simple Grungy Text Effect with Custom Brush in Photoshop
Use a soft eraser, remove the following areas of the texture to add some depth and variety to it:
1 erase 500x287 Design Simple Grungy Text Effect with Custom Brush in Photoshop

Step 2

On this background texture layer, add the following 3 image adjustment layers:
Black and White
2 bw3 Design Simple Grungy Text Effect with Custom Brush in Photoshop
Levels
2 lv3 Design Simple Grungy Text Effect with Custom Brush in Photoshop
Curves
2 curves3 Design Simple Grungy Text Effect with Custom Brush in Photoshop
You will have the following effect:
2 effect3 500x290 Design Simple Grungy Text Effect with Custom Brush in Photoshop

Step 3

Now we can type a red letter onto the canvas – you can use any font you like, doesn’t really matter in this tutorial:
3 type 500x385 Design Simple Grungy Text Effect with Custom Brush in Photoshop
On this text layer, apply the following blending options:
Gradient Overlay
3 grad 500x350 Design Simple Grungy Text Effect with Custom Brush in Photoshop
You will have the following effect:
3 effect1 500x445 Design Simple Grungy Text Effect with Custom Brush in Photoshop
Add a layer mask on this text layer, use the grunge brushes you downloaded as eraser, remove some parts of the text as shown below:
3 erase 500x300 Design Simple Grungy Text Effect with Custom Brush in Photoshop

Step 4

We can add some texture over the text as well via a clipping mask. Go back to the stone texture and select a portion as shown below:
4 select1 500x427 Design Simple Grungy Text Effect with Custom Brush in Photoshop
Copy and paste the selection over the text, resize it to fit the font size:
4 resize 500x440 Design Simple Grungy Text Effect with Custom Brush in Photoshop
Right-click on the stone texture layer and choose “Create clipping mask”, you will have the following effect:
4 clipping 500x359 Design Simple Grungy Text Effect with Custom Brush in Photoshop
Change the layer blending mode of this text layer to “Color Burn”:
4 colour burn Design Simple Grungy Text Effect with Custom Brush in Photoshop
and you will hand the following effect:
4 effect2 500x438 Design Simple Grungy Text Effect with Custom Brush in Photoshop

Step 5

I decided to add a holding hand under the text for some extra effect. Load this hand image into Photoshop, and select it with the magic wand tool:
5 sel1 500x372 Design Simple Grungy Text Effect with Custom Brush in Photoshop
Copy and paste it onto our document below the text layer, resize it to a smaller scale and slightly rotate it:
5 past 500x305 Design Simple Grungy Text Effect with Custom Brush in Photoshop
Then, use the liquify filter’s forward warping tool, manipulate the arm portion of the image as shown below:
5 liq1 500x291 Design Simple Grungy Text Effect with Custom Brush in Photoshop
Also we can erase the following parts of the hand so it blends into the background:
5 erase Design Simple Grungy Text Effect with Custom Brush in Photoshop
Add the following 2 adjustment layers as clipping mask to this hand layer:
Black and White
5 bw Design Simple Grungy Text Effect with Custom Brush in Photoshop
Levels
5 lv1 Design Simple Grungy Text Effect with Custom Brush in Photoshop
and you will have the following effect so far:
5 effect2 500x331 Design Simple Grungy Text Effect with Custom Brush in Photoshop

Step 6

Now we can simply create a new layer under the original text layer, select a red colour close to the font colour, and use the custom grunge brushsets we downloaded to paint some pattern around the text:
Hint: Adjust the size of the brush as you paint, don’t use a brush that is too large in size. Use the eraser to remove unnecessary parts.

Once you are done painting, you can duplicate this layer and apply some liquify filter (use the forward warp tool) effect to it:
6 liq Design Simple Grungy Text Effect with Custom Brush in Photoshop
I then further added some colour and light adjustments and here is the final effect I have: (click to enlarge)

How to create a grungy text effect


In this tutorial, I will show you the steps I took to Create this Abstract Text Effect with Metal Texture and Cloud Effect in Photoshop. This is an intermediate level tutorial so some steps can be a little tricky, but why not have a try :)
Here is a preview of the final effect I have for this tutorial: (click to enlarge)

OK Let’s get started!
To complete this tutorial, you will need the following stocks:

Step 1

Create a new document sized 700px * 960px with black background. Load the metal texture into Photoshop and select a portion of the image, copy and paste it onto our document, adjust its size with free transform tool so it cover the whole canvas:
1 paste2 500x649 Create a Unique Abstract Text Effect with Metal Texture and Cloud Effect in Photoshop
Reduce the layer opacity to be around 20%:
1 reduce 500x674 Create a Unique Abstract Text Effect with Metal Texture and Cloud Effect in Photoshop

Step 2

Apply the following 3 image adjustment layer to this metal texture layer:
Black and White
2 bw1 Create a Unique Abstract Text Effect with Metal Texture and Cloud Effect in Photoshop
Levels
2 lv2 Create a Unique Abstract Text Effect with Metal Texture and Cloud Effect in Photoshop
Layer mask on the levels adjustment layer: (use a big soft eraser with 70% opacity and flow on this layer mask)
2 lv mask 500x697 Create a Unique Abstract Text Effect with Metal Texture and Cloud Effect in Photoshop
Curves
2 curves1 Create a Unique Abstract Text Effect with Metal Texture and Cloud Effect in Photoshop
And you will have the following effect so far:
2 effect2 500x695 Create a Unique Abstract Text Effect with Metal Texture and Cloud Effect in Photoshop

Step 3

Create a new layer with 20% layer opacity, draw a selection with a 40px feather Lasso Tool as shown below, and render some cloud with the cloud filter in it:
3 cloud 489x700 Create a Unique Abstract Text Effect with Metal Texture and Cloud Effect in Photoshop
Now we can create some random abstract pattern with the liquify filter. Use the rectangular marquee to draw a selection and fill it with black colour as shown below:
3 rect Create a Unique Abstract Text Effect with Metal Texture and Cloud Effect in Photoshop
Use the liquify filter’s forward warping tool with the following settings:
3 liq setting Create a Unique Abstract Text Effect with Metal Texture and Cloud Effect in Photoshop
Warp it until it forms the following liquid flowing shape:
3 liquify1 Create a Unique Abstract Text Effect with Metal Texture and Cloud Effect in Photoshop
Then, duplicate this layer a few times, rotate and scatter them around the canvas (adjust the layer opacity of each duplicated layer to create depth):
3 scatter 500x199 Create a Unique Abstract Text Effect with Metal Texture and Cloud Effect in Photoshop
Optionally, you can invert (Ctrl + I) the colour to white and mix them with the black pattern:
3 white 500x188 Create a Unique Abstract Text Effect with Metal Texture and Cloud Effect in Photoshop

Step 4

Create a new layer and type a letter onto the centre of the canvas as shown below with black colour, drop the layer opacity of this new layer to around 45%:
4 type1 500x520 Create a Unique Abstract Text Effect with Metal Texture and Cloud Effect in Photoshop
Add the following gradient overlay setting to this text layer:
4 grad 500x350 Create a Unique Abstract Text Effect with Metal Texture and Cloud Effect in Photoshop
Add a layer mask to this text layer, use the splatter brush as eraser and remove some part of the text as shown below:
Hint: you can set the brush flow and opacity to be around 50% and reduce the size of the eraser for a layered effect.
4 erase 500x527 Create a Unique Abstract Text Effect with Metal Texture and Cloud Effect in Photoshop
Load the selection of the text layer and move it to the metal texture, select a portion and paste it onto our text:
4 select 500x377 Create a Unique Abstract Text Effect with Metal Texture and Cloud Effect in Photoshop
Again we remove the edges and parts of the texture with a soft eraser and splatter eraser:
4 erase 2 500x464 Create a Unique Abstract Text Effect with Metal Texture and Cloud Effect in Photoshop
Apply the following 3 image adjustment layers as clipping mask for this new metal texture layer:
Black and White
4 bw Create a Unique Abstract Text Effect with Metal Texture and Cloud Effect in Photoshop
Levels
4 lv Create a Unique Abstract Text Effect with Metal Texture and Cloud Effect in Photoshop
Curves
4 curves Create a Unique Abstract Text Effect with Metal Texture and Cloud Effect in Photoshop
and here is the effect so far:
4 effect2 500x533 Create a Unique Abstract Text Effect with Metal Texture and Cloud Effect in Photoshop

Step 5

Now let’s blending this text into the background. Firstly, we can render some cloud (using the method mentioned above) on the bottom of the text and compress it down as shown below, this will form a ground texture:
5 compress 500x108 Create a Unique Abstract Text Effect with Metal Texture and Cloud Effect in Photoshop
Create a new layer with 50% layer opacity, again render some cloud above the ground:
5 render cloud 500x146 Create a Unique Abstract Text Effect with Metal Texture and Cloud Effect in Photoshop
Create another new layer with 30% opacity, render some cloud over the text as shown below:
5 render cloud over text Create a Unique Abstract Text Effect with Metal Texture and Cloud Effect in Photoshop
Now you can use the splatter brush downloaded, add some decorative painting around the text:
5 splatter 500x567 Create a Unique Abstract Text Effect with Metal Texture and Cloud Effect in Photoshop
Use a soft eraser to remove the edges of the painting so they fade into the background to add more depth to the image:
5 erase 500x219 Create a Unique Abstract Text Effect with Metal Texture and Cloud Effect in Photoshop
Optionally, you can add some abstract black pattern from the previous step over the text, as well as some flying particle with the debris brush downloaded:
5 over text 500x364 Create a Unique Abstract Text Effect with Metal Texture and Cloud Effect in Photoshop

Step 6

OK we’re almost done! For some final adjustments, we can flatten the image, duplicate this background layer once and apply the following High Pass filter setting to the duplicated layer:
6 high pass Create a Unique Abstract Text Effect with Metal Texture and Cloud Effect in Photoshop
Change the layer blending mode of this new high pass layer to “Hard Light”, you will find you parts of the image being slightly sharpened:
5 sharpen 500x228 Create a Unique Abstract Text Effect with Metal Texture and Cloud Effect in Photoshop
You can also add some cloud warp into the image to create some motion effect: (check out this tutorial to learn this technique)
6 cloud warp 500x264 Create a Unique Abstract Text Effect with Metal Texture and Cloud Effect in Photoshop
Adjust the levels of the ground and the background a little with the levels adjustments tool, this will create a floating effect and more depth for the image:
6 float 500x180 Create a Unique Abstract Text Effect with Metal Texture and Cloud Effect in Photoshop
You can then apply some colour effect onto the image via either colour balance adjustment layer, or use soft brush to paint on a new layer (with layer blending mode set to “colour” or “overlay”). I will leave the choice of colours to you, but below is my colour combination (I decided to apply an ancient, rusty theme to the text)
