 Hello everybody, welcome back another Photoshop tutorial. This one I'm gonna show you how to turn any text into that textured grungy look, just like this. Let me show you what I'm talking about. Here, if I command Z back, this is the original text. This is just a bold font, standard stuff. I'm gonna make it very cool and grungy with just one click. And I'm gonna show you how to do it using a displacement map. And we're also gonna create our own texture using mid-journey. I'm gonna show you an extra technique in here. So I'm gonna show you how to do it. Buckle up, let's go. All right, so the first step is the easy one. Just grab your text tool and type what you want it to say. I'm gonna type in King, because my dog's name is Kingston and King looks good here. And there we go, I'm gonna fit it here. You're gonna notice here that under the properties, I've got something called boldstrom as the text selected. But the most important part about this technique is it doesn't matter what fonts you use. This works for any font. A lot of people will try and find a nice grungy font. You don't actually need to do that. Use any font you like. I'll show you how to grunge it up. So in this case, I'm using boldstrom. But if you wanna use something like Montserrat or whatever, go nuts. Okay, there we go, we've applied our text. The next step is I'm gonna click on the text layer here. And then on the outside here, I'm gonna right click and I'm gonna convert this to a smart object. All right, now what we need to do is we need to create our texture. Now you can download a texture off a variety of websites. There's tons of free textures out there. But I wanna show you something cool that I was working on earlier and it's really fun. So I'm gonna go into my Discord. I'm gonna go into my mid-journey bot, just like I've done here. And what I did is I went forward slash imagine and then I went black and white, oops. And this is an optional step, but it works, black and white grunge texture. And then I hit enter. And then it just sort of went ahead and did it for me. Now I ran into a couple examples here earlier and it gave me a couple of good ones. I selected this one. So I'm just gonna click on it and then I right click on it, save it as an image and I'm gonna save it into my pictures file and then I'm gonna call this B and W, black and white, whatever. Good enough and save it to pictures. Okay, good. Now let's get cracking on turning it into a PSD file and going for the final lap here, final stretch. All right, so the next step, I'm back in Photoshop and you need to turn that grunge texture, whatever it is. You gotta turn it into a Photoshop document and it has to be black and white. So I've already made it black and white but I'll show you a technique just in case. So what I'm gonna do here is I'm gonna, I've currently clicked on this layer. I'm gonna click off this layer. I'm gonna go into my finder or you can go into your explorer if you're on a PC part of me and I'm just gonna drag and drop in that B and W dot P N G into Photoshop. So here is the texture. All right, so I'm gonna unlock it just in case. First step, file. Well, actually before I do that, if you have a color texture and you want it to be black and white because black and white is required, you can just simply go down here, click on this little half circle here and then just look for the black and white filter or the black and white adjustment layer. So there you go. Just in case, this is optional but if you're, again, if your texture is colored, this will fix that problem. Okay, now the next step, file. Save as, and here we go. This has to be a PSD. So I'm gonna save this in pictures. In the format, you probably have a different format from Photoshop selected but the format you want is Photoshop. Select that and click on save. So now we're saved it as a Photoshop document in our pictures folder. Okay, last step coming up. All right, so for the last step, I'm gonna go back to our original image here or part of our original, yeah, I guess our Photoshop document with the text on it and now I'm gonna click on the king layer here or the text layer and then I'm gonna go up here to filter. I'm gonna go to distort and then I'm gonna go to displace. This is actually short for displacement map but you'll see displace most likely. Now, this is why this technique is so cool because you can adjust the horizontal and vertical scale. The higher this number is, the more wonky the text will be or the more grunge I suppose you'll get. So a standard would be 20 by 24 example and again, you can dial this in and I'll click on okay and then we're gonna select that bnw.psd as our displacement map and look at that, we've got a cool grungy text applied but what if you want more grunge? This is where if you had a font, you get what the font gives you but if you do it this way, you get what you want. So I'm gonna go ahead and double click here on displace and then instead of 20, let's go 40 by 40 and then click on okay, it's gonna ask you to reselect. So I'm gonna reselect bnw.psd and look at that, we've got more grunge. You can dial it in as you see fit. This is the way to do it. Thanks for watching.
