  How to Do This Text Effect

  Posted by Dirk d. Lopez on April 28, 2010 at 6:59 pm

  Hello all, I need some help on achieving this effect: https://cl.ly/jCq

  Personally I’m on the right track but not there yet. I have tried adding a glow and fast blur to my text but it’s not looking right.

  Any ideas?

  The trick here is to use multiple copies of your text layer with various scales, positions, blurs, colors, and transfer modes applied, as well as a couple well placed distortion effects.

  Paul, thanks so much for the tips! I was getting close but needed that push. Here is what I ended up coming up with: https://cl.ly/hUh

  I would say that’s pretty close. It looks like they used a thinner and more ireggular font.
