Ice Text - Photoshop

[RapisT]

First was the lava text, now at the other end of the spectrum is the frozen text.

1. Begin with a new file in greyscale [550x150]. Then take the Text Tool and type in your text.

2. Go to Filter->Noise->Add Noise and set the Amount to 140 and Distribution Gaussian. Then press Ctrl+E to Merge Down the layer.

Now should it look like the image below.



3. Go to Filter->Pixelate->Crystalize with the Cell Size: 3.

4. Then go to Filter->Stylize->Find Edges.



5. Go to Filter->Blur->Gaussian Blur with 0.8 Pixels.

6. Rotate the image, Image->Rotate Canvas->90 CW and then press Ctrl+I, then go to Filter->Stylize->Wind with Method: Wind and Direction: from the Right.

7. Then rotate back the image, Image->Rotate Canvas->90 CCW.

8. Then change the mode to RGB Color, Image->Mode->RGB Color, press Ctrl+U and click Colorize and set the Hue to 220, Saturation to 80 and Lightness 0.



And then you're done!

[RapisT]
