Start
out by typing your text - for this tutorial you have to use large
letters.
I used the font Black Chancery (color = #8C979C).
Fig. 2
Now
apply the layerstyle shown in fig. 2 (Not fig. 3 yet!).
Now duplicate the text layer by dragging it down to the Create new
layer button. Name this layer text2.
Fig. 3
Select
the Move Tool and
then move the text2 layer 5 pixels to the right and 4 pixels down
using the arrow keys.
Also change the layer mode from Normal to Multiply.
For
now turn off the text2 layer and go back to the original text layer.
Now
apply the Drop Shadow layer style shown in fig. 3.
Fig. 4
Your
image should now look like fig. 4.
Fig. 5
On
the background layer I applied some scanlines with the pattern overlay
layerstyle. Of course you can use any kind of picture/pattern that
suites your taste.
Then change the layer mode on the text layer from Normal to Color
Burn.
Your image should now look something like fig. 5.
Now this is a pretty neat text effect already, but we will add some
more effects to the text...
Fig. 6
Now
select the text2 layer.
Apply a Stroke layer style with these setting:
Size: 2 px
Location: Outside
Color: Black
Now
apply a Drop Shadow:
Mode: Multiply
Angle: -123
Distance: 5 pixels
Spread: o
Size: 5 pixels
Your
image should now look similar to fig. 6.
Fig. 7
Now
select the original text layer and create a new layer - this layer
will then appear above the original text layer and below the text
2 layer.
At
this new layer press down the Ctrl-key and hit the original text
layer to get the selection.
Now go to Edit - Stroke - Width: 1 pixel - Location: Outside.
Now
appply the two layer styles shown in fig. 7 and fig. 8.

At
this step make sure you have black as your foreground color and white
as your background color...
