I hope someone learns something from it. Improvise a bit, use other adj layers, etc, etc... Post results, if any please!

+1 the text isnt evenly spaced like

First step when making a tutorial, is making sure people are actually able to read it. Since that's your main goal.

This font is horrible, and makes on-screen reading even harder then it allready is.

General rule of thumb:

- Headlines, heads, important statements, highlights = A typical Sans-serif font.

- Parts where people are gonna have to do some reading: A typical serif font. This font gets it's name from serifs (tails) on the non capital letters, that point towards the next letter/word thus making it easier to read/follow.

- Decorative fonts, is a whole other group, and typically used to be stupid on the net really

I dont get the first step, if I try Filter > Distort > Displace... there appears some really *****.. Im Displace it with the normal settings.

I have a Transparant layer, then I load my render (Layer 2) Than I try the Displace thing... What is the wrong move? ^^

Sjoerd, sorry for the bad English! :banghead:

Heheh, thanks. Used this font on purpose, I love it, but will use your advice in next ones. Cheers.

@Sjoerd: I don't get what you mean. When you do the Distort>Displace filter your unresized render, it will become.. weird, but suitable for a BG. Make sure it flows well.

Thats the problem it looks terrible and its just 1/5th of the whole sig in the middle of the Sig!

Don't resize it yet, lol. And displace it a couple of times.
