i wanted to learn how to create a grungy urban style text for my album covers so i decided to give it a go using the eraser and some images of splatted paint. I started off by creating a new canvas and giving it a background colour (orange), then created the text i was going to edit. Before i could go any further the text needed to be rastarised so it could be manipulated, once that was done i selected the eraser tool, picked a brush to use and set about cutting into the text to created the grungy effect.
After i spent absolutely ages doing this to all the letters i used the rotate tool to make it look more dynamic and added paint splatters which i found on the internet. These splatters were pure black and white to make it easier to blend into any scene. I simply added the photos, scaled and rotated them and set the transfer mode to screen.

Done! I am planning on creating something similar to this for use on my final covers
