Font with small font inside

[Delta12]

Hi guys,

I'm a newbie here Hope someone can help me out. I have seen it somewhere within this forum but for the love of god I just can't find it now..

What I'm basically after is the effect where you have hundreds of small words inside big letters that makes up your word if that makes sense?

Would anyone kindly give a helping hand?

Do you want the small words to form meaningful sentences? If so, that is going to be tricky. Very tricky, unless somebody very clever has a dastardly clever trick up their sleeve?

If you just want text inside text, that is easy. So can you clarify?

Not sure if I can explain this however I'll give it a go...

Let's use the word MOTOROLA as an example, I want hundreds of little MOTOROLA text to make up the word MOTOROLA in big font. In other words the same word over and over again to make up the same word in big text

OK, that's easy. Use the type tool with a heavy sans serif font to create the word MOTOROLA.
Now use the type tool again, but this time drag a text box across the big MOTOROLA word.
Select a small font and type the word MOTOROLA with a space after it. DON'T OK THIS LAYER YET!
Use Ctrl (Cmd) a to select the word and space, and Ctrl c to copy it to the clipboard.
Now use Ctrl v to make a bunch of copies.
Turn off the big MOTOROLA layer.
Ctrl click it to load it as a selection, and add a layer mask to the small MOTOROLAs layer.

This topic comes up all the time as you will see from he multitude of links provided in this thread. I think there are tuts from members also, or they are at the link location.

Thanks for the link. It reminded me of a big project using Illustrator where thousands of text items (or similar) were supplied by other people to make up a design. Unfortunately, I don't have a clear enough memory to Google the project, but this is a cool way of doing it using text converted to brushes, and applying them using Shape Dynamics with lots of size, angle, and scatter jitter. It's kind of obvious when pointed out to you, but I guess there are so many ways to do stuff in Photoshop.
