Freezing Ice Text EffectFreezing Ice Text Effect
Hello all today we are going to make a Icy text effect in adobe photoshop:
First make a canvas ( I used 400 x 200 px ) and fill it with black:
Second we need to type in our text ( I used “Icy” with Ariel Black at 72pt ):
Now rasterize the text layer by right clicking the layer and click Rasterize Type:
Right click the Icy layer and click Merge down:
Goto Filter > Pixelate > Crystallize:
Enter 3 as the Cell Size:
Now goto Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur:
Enter 1 pixel and click ok:
Now goto Image > Rotate Canvas > 90 CW:
Goto Filter > Stylize > Wind:
Make sure From the Right is ticked and click ok:
Now goto Image > Rotate Canvas > 90 CCW:
Then Image > Adjustments > Hue/Saturation:
Enter Hue: 215 Saturation: 50 Lightness: 0 and make sure Colorize is checked:
And here is your final result:
Thanks for looking at this tutorial and hope you learned from this.
