Light Blast Text

Create a 500x500 image in photoshop and make the background
Black.



Using the Type Tool type a word in White. For the sake of this
tutorial, I will use Impact at Size 60pt with the text "Dhillon" ;)





Rasterize the layer ( Layer > Rasterize > Layer ) or right click on
layers palette then (Rasterize Layer) .



create a new layer and make "Layer1" is activated on the Layer
Palette.



Select All ( Select > All or Ctrl-A ).
Cut and Paste the selection in new Layer. This makes the text
perfectly centered. :)

Delete "Dhillon" layer.



Step 2 - Polar Coordinates
Here comes the fun part! :)
Activate layer "Layer1" on the Layer Palette and use the Polar
Coordinates Filter ( Filter > Distort > Polar Coordinates )



and choose Polar to Rectangular



Step 3 - Wind
Use the Wind Filter ( Filter > Stylize > Wind )



and choose Wind for the method and From the right for the
Direction> Ok.



Press CTRL-F.(to repeat the same step).

Now you need to create wind that is going the opposite direction. Do
the same thing as above except this time choose the option From
the Left.






Press CTRL-F.(to repeat the same step).

Rotate your canvas to the right ( Image > Rotate Canvas > 90 CW )



Use the Wind Filter ( Filter > Stylize > Wind ) and choose Wind for
the method and From the right for the Direction. Press CTRL-F.




Rotate your canvas to the left ( Image > Rotate Canvas > 90 CCW )
to return your image to the proper orientation.







Step 4 - Back to Rectangular Coordinates
You are almost done! Use the Polar Coordinates Filter ( Filter ->
Distort -> Polar Coordinates ) and choose Rectangular to Polar.




Looks cool doesn't it? Now, Select the Text Tool and write the text
you first started with. Color it a different color such as Black and
move it over the white to create some contrast. You are done!


Step 5 - Color
One extra thing you can do is to add some color to your Light Blast
Text. There are many ways to do this. Our favorite way is to use
overlays.
All you need to do is create a new layer above the blast layer,



fill this new layer with whatever color you want,filled the color layer
with a radial gradient that went from red to blue.








and change it's blending mode to "Overlay"



thats it...
