Hi and welcome to another tutorial. This time i'm going to show you how to make a "Alien Looking Text"!

First make a layer with an "Black" background. now type a white text. like below

After you did that we give it a wind effect. go to "Filter>Stylize>Wind" and select right or left we need it both.
after you clicked that you press "CTRL+F" to make it bigger! do the same For "Left AND Right"

Now we got the left and right now we need "Up And Down". Do the following thing.. go to "Image>Rotate Canvas> 90o CW"
After you done that you do the same "Wind effect" only this time you DON'T use the "CTRL+F". After you did both put the image back again but this time "Image"> Rotate Canvas>90o CCW". get something like below.

Now you got the effects. now add some "Hue/Saturation" on it. select the wind text.. and go to:

I wanted blue so i did the Following things.. !Use The Colorize.. or else it wont have anny effect!

now the other layer u had.. (the one you hide) bring it back and put it on the top! now. make the color black!
(i gave it a gradient overlay)

And there you go!!

Hope it work and helps you

Great tutorial, Smokes... I already know this one though (actually kinda thought of it myself, maybe theres another tut, I don't know) I pretty much do the same exact thing, with a few different tweaks! Awesome tutorial and having other people the inside knowledge.

very simple! use the text maker (the one you made it with) select youre white text and make it black!
you can also try the layer style.. give it a gradient overlay.. or color overlay
