Description I've been asked before how I've done text, and I couldn't find my little piece of notebook paper where I wrote down the directions for myself, so I decided to make a tutorial for it and share!

Photoshop styles are fuuuun to play with.

Note: This is done with Photoshop CS3, and although other versions of Photoshop will be able to do this, certain commands and stuff may be different.

Resources:
Font (Cooper Black) : [link]
Texture: [link] (note: I did not create this texture, and I forget where I downloaded it from.)
Text Style settings: [link]
Stroke Style settings: [link]

Feel free to play around with this a bit to create your own unique text! This is just how I do it and is by no means the only way to do it. If you happen to use this tutorial to make text, you're not obligated to credit me, but a link back to my dA is always nice.

If you guys like this I might do some other text tutorials too!

Unfortunately, I no longer have the files, and the place I had them uploaded to is no longer there.

I can't get the shiny edge to look right, is there a step I missed..?
It doesn't look like your edges at all, it just looks like a flat colour.

It might have to do with the size you're working at. I've noticed that if I'm working with really small text it doesn't work as well. Hope that helps!
