Poster text construction

For the first step of constructing my text I opened up a Photoshop document and made the document black with the paint bucket tool. Next I selected the text tool a used it to write Deluca on the black document.

Next I go up to the Image menu at the top of the screen, choose Rotate Canvas, and then choose 90° CW. For the next step I go up to the Filter menu at the top of the screen, choose Stylize, and then choose Wind. After effecting this setting the text looked like the screen shot below.

Next I repeat the last step two more times so that the wind effect becomes more dominate (shown in the image below).





For the next step I rotate the text again by going back up to the Image menu, choose Rotate Canvas once again, and this time, choose 90° CCW.  So it looks like the screen shot below.

Next I go up to the Filter menu at the top of the screen, choose Blur, and then choose Gaussian Blur and then change the radius to 1.2. After that I then go onto the liquefy setting and use it to expand the wave effect after that step the text looks like the screen shot below.

Before the next step I duplicated the text layer after that I go onto the hue saturation setting and set the Hue value to around 40 for a warm yellow/orange colour, then crank the Saturation value all the way up to 100 to really boost the colour's intensity. I then go onto the hue saturation setting again and set the Hue value to around -15 for a deeper orange colour, for the next part I go onto the layer setting and put it as overlay, after that the text looked like the screen shot below.

Next I used the gradient tool on a new layer, having done this I then used the settings below. 

Having done that I have the final text which is shown below.
