Texture Outline
Creating a texture outline for your text can add a little bit of flavor and spice to enhance your website or graphic design projects. In this tutorial, we'll walk through the steps in order to create a texturized outline surrounding any type of regular font that you decide to use.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Open up the texture that you plan to use in Photoshop.
2. Select the Type tool and type your text over the texture background (when you begin typing, it should automatically create a new layer).
3. Select the Magic Wand tool.
4. Make sure the Text layer is active. Click outside of the text area to select everything except the text.
5. Goto Select > Modify > Contract.
6. When the pop-up appears, enter the amount of pixels in width that you want the outlined texture to be. For the size of the font in this tutorial, I chose "2" for the pixel size.
7. Click OK and you should have a selection like the image below:
8. Make sure the Background layer is active. Click the Delete key.
9. Click Ctrl+D to deselect the image.
10. You should now have your outline texture text.
