Grunge-Style Abstract Typography with Rusted Metal Texture in Photoshop
Filed under Text Effects

In this tutorial, I will show you the steps I took to make a Grungy-Style Abstract Typography using rusted metal texture in Photoshop. The inspiration of this tutorial came from a grungy metal image I came across on stockvault.net and thought I could have a play with it ![]()
Together we will explore some layer blending techniques, variuos filter effects, and an interesting method of making the text look 3D. Have a go!
Rotate the canvas by 90 degree CW by going into Image > Rotate Canvas > 90 degrees CW
We can add a bit of noise on the background image and make it look more grungy. To do this, duplicate the background layer and go to Filter > Noise > Dust & Scratches
