how did you make the background of your text? i want to know please
:iconcoldrival:
Hi there Lyrad-13. I'll break it down in easy steps for you to follow.

1) Make a new layer on the very top of your document.

2) Grab the rectangle marquee tool, and make a selection all the way across your image, and a height that you'd like.

3) Click on your colour pallete, and change the forground colour to white.

4) Grab the gradient tool, and look up in the upper left hand corner of the PS window. You'll see a small box with two colours, one (white - which you selected) fading to the other (background colour).

5) See it? Click on this box and it'll open a dialogue window. In the middle of this box, you'll see a selection of squares with different colour gradients. Select the one that has a white, fading into nothing (grey and white squares).

6) Still with the gradient tool selected, and the area that you selected in step 2, drag the gradient into the position you want.

7) Set the blending mode to overlay.

If you want to know how I did the small diagonal lines, you'll need to apply a clipping mask (Ctrl+Alt+G).

The lines are called scanlines ([link]), and they are applied by creating a new layer on top of the one previously created, and selecting the entire canvas with the rectangle marquee tool. Right click this new selection, and click Fill...

Apply your new scanlines, and press Ctrl+Alt+G to apply the clipping mask. Play about with the blending modes of this layer to see what looks best.
