Funny cartoon text style

In this Adobe Photoshop tutorial we will make a funny cartoon text effect, I hope you like it..

First type in the text you want to apply this effect to, remember to use a very bold text, and with some soft edges will also help.

I used a font called "showcard gothic" which gives me a great effect.

Now go to the layers panel and double click the text layer to get to the layers styles panel and give it the following settings

For the pattern overlay, you will need to create a pattern first or download a photoshop pattern and import it the your photoshop patterns, just do some google search for photoshop stripe pattern and you will find some good free photoshop patterns.

Now we will make the glossy effect at the top of every letter.

Hold down ctrl and click the letters layer in the layers panel to load the shape selection. Then with the elliptical selection tool make sure to choose the selection mode "intersect with selection" and drag a selection as shown below.

Then you should end up with a selection looking like this.

Make a new layer, fill the selection with a white color and bring down its opacity to about 20 percent (maybe less), and we are done.

The final touch I did was to add this whole effect to each letters separately and rotate them to make them look a bit funny.

STEP 2:
create anew layer and place it over the other layers in the layer palette and fill it with black as we do before in the other layer.
Also Apply the add noise filter but increase the amount to "61" instead of "60" and then apply the motion blur filter with the same previous settings.

try this step 2 times but when u apply the noise filter you must increase "1" to the amount (i.e. the 3rd layer "62" and the 4th "63".

Now change the mode of all 4 layers to screen and then change the fill of all layers to 60.

STEP 3:
select file >> Edit in ImageReady .
in the imageready show the animation palette and layers palette if they are invisible:
To do that :
choose Window >> Timeline
Window >> Layers.

in the animation window at the first frame go to the layer palette and make all layers invisible except the basic image layer and one layer.



After that create a new frame in the timeline. by clicking the "Duplicate current frame" button which is surrounded by a circle in the following image:

Select the new frame and go to the layer palette and hide the already visible layer and make another one visible. as you see in this image.

Repeat this process until you have 4 frames each one contains the basic image layer with only one rain layer.

After that set the time of the frames to 0.1 second
