Make a new doc.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

fill it in black (this effect works best on dark bgs/surfaces.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

type in ur text

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

go up to filter > distort > polar coordinates > polar to rec.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

then image > rotate canvas > 90cw

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

then filter > stylize > wind (from the right)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

after that hit ctrl + F to duplicate the effect

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

THEN image > rotate canvas > 90ccw

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and finally filter > distort > polar coordinates > rec to polar.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If u want to colour it just go to image > adjustments > hue/saturation and fiddle about

Nice outcome ^_^ Would have been nice if you provided screenshots for the steps along the way. Shows people if they are on the right track.
