We need a very bold font with slight crumbly effect, such as “Defused”, which is what we used here, download it free at dafont.com It doesn’t matter what colour you chose for typing as we will overlay it by a pattern.

Go to Layer >> Layer Styles >> Blending Options and apply carefully these settings.

The texture for Bevel effect is called “RustTileBump” and is pre installed in many versions of PS already. If you don’t have it, it wont be a problem to download it from any PhotoShop free resources website.
