Creating vivid text using Adobe Photoshop 

1. Creating the Background

Step 1

Create a new 1100 x 700px document. Set the Foreground color to #760928 and the Backgroundcolor to #3d1722, pick the Gradient Tool, click the Radial Gradient icon in the Options bar, and then click and drag from the center of the document to one of the corners.

Step 2

Place the Texture 358 image on top of the Background layer, rename its layer to Texture, then go to Edit > Transform > Rotate 90° Clockwise. Change the layer’s Blend Mode to Difference and its Opacity to 30%, and then resize it as needed.

2. Creating the Text

Step 1

Create the text using the font Sail Regular, the Size300 pt, and the Color #d70f35. Then, change the Kerning value to Optical, and the Tracking value to -10.

Step 2

Duplicate the text layer and change the copy’s Fillvalue to 0.
