How can I get this sponging / splatter effect similar to this image in photoshop?


Hi Digimas

you mean like this, this looks more like a forum signature.

This is not that difficult as it seems:

- Create a new file, whit the specified size and resolution. example "500*50 px at 75px/inch",

-Create a transparent layer, and fill this layer whit white color using your paint bucket tool "G"

- create a new layer on top "this layer is gonna contain the yellow brush strokes"

-Using a Grunge Brush at 100% opacity and 100% flow mode "normal" whit a orange_yellowish color like "ffcc66" start painting randomly over the layer until you get something like, in the picture above, when you are done whit the yellow brushing, duplicate the layer or hit "CRTL+J" PC or "COMMAND+J"MAC

-Now, create another layer once again on top, and change your brush a Grunge Scratch Brush , then select your color to white and paint some scratches randomly on the layer "but don't over do it, just a couple of strokes will be fine".
Once again duplicate the layer using the technique mentioned before and you are done

If you want to add the text, select your text tool, choose your font, select the color you want to use and type down your text.

-You can modify your text size and position alignment, etc using the text tools also.

-Once done whit the text, rasterize the layer "Layers_rasterize"

- adding layers effects is pretty simple too, once selected the layer containing the rasterized text go to Layer>layer>drop shadow, play whit settings as shadow position,angle,opacity, bending moe, etc until you get something that you like, hit OK, and we are done whit the text.

Hope this helps.
Good Luck
