http://textuts.com/striped-fuzzy-text-effect/



If you’re a fan of the fuzzy/fluffy stuff, you’ll like this text effect. It is a really simple one, created using Photoshop’s Layer Styles, brushes, and Filters. You can use any color you like for the stripes, and even create them in different sizes. The techniques are pretty easy, but they give a nice, almost realistic, result.

The Final Result:

Then, click and drag from the center of the document to one of the corners to create the background gradient.

Create the text in All Caps using the font “Titan One”. The color is #d8d8d8, the Size is 250 pt, and the Tracking value is 50.

Step 4

Right click the text layer and choose “Create Work Path”. Then, create a new layer on top of all layers and call it “Stroke”. Make sure that the Brush Tool is still selected.

Striped Fuzzy Text Effect step 4

Set the Foreground color to #cdcdcd and the Background color to #f3f3f3. then, hit the Enter/Return key a couple of times (5 – 7) to stroke the path with the modified brush tip. When you like how the stroke looks, pick the Direct Selection Tool (A), and hit Enter/Return one more time to get rid of the path.

Striped Fuzzy Text Effect step 4

Ctrl/Cmd + Click the text layer’s thumbnail to create a selection.

Striped Fuzzy Text Effect step 4

Create a new layer on top of all layers and call it “Texture”. Change the Foreground color to #d8d8d8 and the Background color to #858585, then go to Filter > Render > Clouds. Go to Select > Deselect (Ctrl/Cmd + D) to get rid of the selection.

Striped Fuzzy Text Effect step 4

Go to Filter > Noise > Add Noise. Change the Amount to 20, the Distribution to Gaussian, and check the Monochromatic box.

Striped Fuzzy Text Effect step 4

Change the “Texture” layer’s Blend Mode to Soft Light. This will help with the fuzzy appearance of the text.

Striped Fuzzy Text Effect step 4

Step 5

Create a selection once again, then create a new layer on top of all layers, call it “Stripes”, and change its Blend Mode to Linear Burn. This will help you choose the right color as you will see the result along with the Blend Mode.

Striped Fuzzy Text Effect step 5

Set the Foreground color to whatever color you want the stripes to be (here it is #e890b9), just make sure not to pick very dark colors, as the Linear Burn Blend Mode will darken them anyway.

Then, pick a hard round brush, and change its size to a size you like as well, depending on how thick or thin you want the stripes to be.

After that, press and hold the Shift key, click outside the left side of the text where you want to add the stripe, then drag to the right side to create a straight line, and release all.

Repeat this step to create all the stripes you want to create. You can use different brush sizes to add some variations.

Striped Fuzzy Text Effect step 5

Pick the Pen Tool and choose the Path option in the Options bar. You’ll then need to create a straight line at the top and bottom of each stripe you created.

To do so, click once to the left of the stripe, press and hold the Shift key, and click again to the right side and release all.

Don’t worry if the line is not placed exactly on top of the stripe’s edge, as we’ll move the lines next. But make sure after you create each line, to press and hold the Ctrl/Cmd key, and click away from the line to separate it from the next one.

Striped Fuzzy Text Effect step 5

Once you’re done, you an pick the Path Selection Tool, click any line you want to move, and use the Arrow Keys to move it as you like. When all the lines are placed correctly, click outside them so that no line stays selected.

Create a new layer on top of all layers and call it “Stripes Stroke”, make sure that the Foreground color is the same as the stripes’ color, the hit the Enter/Return key a couple of times (3 – 5) to stroke the edges of the stripes.

Striped Fuzzy Text Effect step 7

Once you like the result, pick the Direct Selection Tool (A) and hit Enter/Return to get rid of the path, go to Select > Deselect to get rid of the selection, and then go to Filter > Sharpen > Sharpen to make the edges more defined.

After that, change the “Stripes” layer’s Blend Mode to Normal.

Striped Fuzzy Text Effect step 7

Select both the “Stripes” and the “Stripes Stroke” layers, go to Layer > Merge Layers, then change the merged layer’s Blend Mode back to Linear Burn.

Striped Fuzzy Text Effect step 7

With the Foreground color still set to the stripes’ color, and the Background color set to White, go to Filter > Noise > Add Noise. Change the Amount to 5, the Distribution to Gaussian, and check the Monochromatic box.

Striped Fuzzy Text Effect step 7

Step 8

Drag the “Stroke” layer on top of all layers.

Striped Fuzzy Text Effect step 8

Duplicate the text and the “Stroke” layers, then right click the text layer and choose Clear Layer Style.

Striped Fuzzy Text Effect step 8

Select the copy text and “Stroke” layers, merge them, rename the merged layer to “Shadow”, and drag it right below the original text layer.

Striped Fuzzy Text Effect step 8

Double click the “Shadow” layer to apply a Drop Shadow effect, by changing the color to #767676, the Opacity to 58%, the Distance to 15, and the Size to 10.

Striped Fuzzy Text Effect step 8

This will add some more depth to the text.
