Today we're going to learn how to do the "Word Wrap" effect in Photoshop.
Ready your base. I'm going to use this picture of Selena Gomez while she was in the shooting of Wizards of Waverly Place. If you want it to be icon sized it should be 100 x 100 pixels.
Now use the text tool. Type the text that you want. I typed Selena. Place it where you want.
Just the Selena text looks a little boring right? Now, things get interesting. Click you text layer.
Then on top you can see an icon that look like this: (You can only see the icon with the if you click the text tool.)
A pop-up should appear. It should look something like this:
Click on the drop down box then click on the one you would like.
Experiment with the Bend, Horizontal Distortion and the Vertical Distortion.
This was my end result:
Remember you can also stroke the text. This is another icon I made with the Word Wrap Effect. I used the stroke effect with a texture for this one.
