Text That Will Not Melt

Ice Age movie is among the craziest flicks I’ve ever seen. Can you imagine a sloth, a mammoth, and a saber-tooth tiger living together as best pals? Anyway, I like the flick because of the text effect that they used for the posters.

To create the frozen text style, dig this:. First, we make a document and set its foreground color as #336EA7. Then we type a text in the middle to provide some space above and below the screen. Rasterize the layer of the text by right clicking on the layer then choosing the Rasterize box. Proceed to the Image Menu: Image-Rotate-90CCW, then apply the wind style in the filter via Filter-Stylize-Wind and set “wind”, “from right”.

After applying the filter, we rotate our image in its original position. Duplicate the layer and then apply blur style through Filter-Blur-Motion Blur-90, and set the distance to 45. Using the eraser, we eliminate the excess blur on the upper part of our text. We click on the duplicate image layer then press CTRL-E to merge our layer. For the final touches, we use the Image Menu: Filters-Stylize-Fund Edges. You can now use this special effect to give your pictures and posters a unique look that will not melt.
