I dont know how to create the background effect or what text font was used.

I need to do the same effect with a different phrase.

Can anyone give me some direction ?

Thanks in advance [excited]

Add a new layer
Select a rough brush, blue, paint background
Add a new layer
Font: Arial Narrow Special G1, bold
Add drop shadow
Add stroke, 1, outside, linear burn, blue

Close, but no kewpie doll...
If you look closely, you will see that the blue swash is actually the type phrase blued and motion blurred...

you're picky but you don't show how it should be done

1. Create your type layer (white)
2. Duplicate and change the colour to blue - rasterize (layer>rasterize>type) and move this layer below your white type layer.
3. Apply the stroke & drop shadow to the top white type layer
4. Filter>Blur>Motion blur (0 degrees) the blue type layer.

Wow fantastic thank you all

Is there some kind of font reference page around ?

or do you just have to be fimiliar with fonts to tell what that is ?

It would be great if there was a page someone could refer me to that had a bunch of font types printed out and their coresponding names.

Thanks again !

http://www.identifont.com/ Comes in handy when I can't identify a specific font!

Gee, Blue, I figured the general directions were sufficient enough that it could be discerned that the change from brush to blurred type wouldn't be THAT much of a mind-bender, so I didn't have to "spoon feed" a step-by-step...Wendy seemed to figure it out quick enough, although she is pretty sharp with her PS expertise.

Try learning to think outside of expecting forums to do every little step for you, and learn to be able to visualize observations in context to what has already been described for you. You'll find your PS techniques will improve much more.

Well Madster, I knew how to do it, but I wanted you to show us.
I mean saying "A" is one thing...

I'm glad that someone showed us that she has the talents

Wendy you're great. The identifont url will come in handy. JustStarting glad you asked!! Stefan.
