Step 1
Start out by creating a new Photoshop document. Make the size 800 x 600 pixels.
Step 2
Using the Horizontal Type Tool, type the word metropolis.
Step 3
Now you will need to break the text up. To do this you must rasterize the layer. Choose Layer > Rasterize > Type
Step 4
Select the Polygonal Lasso Tool and select the top
portion of the metropolis text layer. When you are going over the the
middle of the text, make slight spikes by going up an down. When you are
done connect back to the beginning to make it a selection.
Step 5
Go to Menu and choose Edit > Free Transform to bring up the transformation box.
Step 6
Hold down the CTRL/CMD key and move the top
right of the box over to the right and then release Control
key.
Step 7
While the top portion is still selected, move the text up and
over to the right with your arrow keys. This will break the
text up.
Step 8
Now Deselect the selection by pressing CTRL/CMD + D
Step 9
Use the Marquee Selection Tool and select a small
part of the bottom of the p and go to Edit > Free Transform
Step 10
Drag the Middle-Bottom box downwards, all the way to the bottom. This will extend the p.
Do the same with the l letter except drag it upwards.
You should end up with this:
Step 11
Now deselect everything and go to Edit >
Free Transform. In the Options toolbar, change
the rotation to -30 degrees and click on the check
mark to confirm.
Step 12
Create a New Layer and name it gradient.
With the Gradient Tool selected change the gradient to
Copper and make it a Radial Gradient
Step 13
Now drag across the screen to make a gradient like this:
Step 14
With the Gradient layer selected, choose Layer > Create
Clipping Mask. Now set the layer mode to Lighten.
Step 15
Create a New Layer and name it bg gradient.
Put it just above the background layer. Set the Opacity to
19%. Fill this layer with a black to white
Linear Gradient
Step 16
Double click on the metropolis text layer to bring
up the Layer Styles. Check the Drop Shadow
and enter the settings as follows:
Opacity: 86% | Angle: 120 Global Light | Distance: 5px | Spread
58 | Size: 5px | Contour: Ring Anti Aliased | Noise 0
Step 17
With the Marquee Select Tool, select everything
just above where the l line ends. Now go to Image > Crop.
Step 18
I used a spraypaint image from Media Militia's Freebie section. Download it here.Once you downloaded the Zip file, open 4.jpg inside of Photoshop.
Step 19
Using the Magic Wand Tool change the Options
to the following:
Tolerance: 10 | Anti-Alias:Checked | Contiguous: Unchecked
Step 20
Click on any white part of this image to select all the white. Now go to Select > Inverse. This will select everything but the white.
Step 22
Go to Edit > Copy and go back to our main document and Edit > Paste this into the document. Name this new layer Spray paint.
Step 23
Go to Edit > Transform > Scale. Bring it down
to 15% and Rotate it like this:
Step 24
Now double click on the spray paint layer, to bring
up the Layer Styles. Check Color Overlay
and change the color to #8b756b
Step 25
Go back to the spray paint image and copy and paste it
again into your main document. Keep it at 100% scale
and put it where you feel fit. Now put a Color Overlay
with the same color as in the last step (#8b756b). Your
done!
