Rust is sometimes what gives a thing greater attention compared to not having it at all. Maybe this is because a lot are enthralled by its aged look. In an article written by Joyce Evans entitled Rusty Type Effects, the author in response to a reader, gave steps on how to make a rusty font. In the tutorial, she used a pattern file and several effects to produce text that appears to be rusted. You can change the look by changing the pattern, the offset of the lower layer, and even the shadow. After you do this exercise, experiment by adding different effects to the edges of the text or try different strokes for a variety of results, she explained. The Source of the tutorial was PNG file and Rusty texture. Click here to download. Here is how it is done: 1 Open a new canvas 2 Select the Text tool and click on the canvas. 3 Fill & Load. This first text object is going to be used as the edge of the final or top text layer. To fill this bottom layer of the text, Open the Fill panel from the Fill category, choose Pattern. In the Pattern Name area, scroll down and choose Other. A dialog box will open allowing you to locate the pattern to fill with.

To remove the existing effects from the cloned text, click on the Hue/Saturation Effect in the Effects panel and then click on the trash can icon to delete it. 7 Fill the Fill. In the Fill panel, change the Texture Amount to 0% 8 Place & Nudge. The amount you nudge the top text object will depend on the size of the text. 9 Stroke the Stroke.
