Distressed Text Project

In this project, we we're told to create signage that warrants the distressed or weathered look on text. I thought that this was going to be kind of an interesting project to work on. Well, for what ever reason I decided to put my texture on a made up store called "cosmic comics" (I made it up). I changed the size of the text and the font to give it a more dramatic look to it. I needed to make the entire text into separate letters so that I could move and manipulate the letters the way that I wanted. 

Then, I added to very small triangles around the 'O' in the word "comics" so it made it look like a sun. I also put a ring around the "O" in "Cosmic" to give the look of Saturn. Then, I dragged the tail end of the "S" of "Comics" and wrapped around so make the letter look a bit goofy.Also, in order to make the texture itself I had to use brushes such as " Chalk Charcoal Pencil". The brushes really gave a new look to the picture was everything was merged together. The final product turned out pretty good in my opinion.
