Type Distortion Effects

This pack contains 8 Type Distortion Effects for Photoshop that allows you to place your own text and have it automatically distorted with 8 different looks. Ideal to give even more character to your design compositions (or just for fun) you can adjust the distortion intesity and of course change the text and background colors easily.

Your download includes 8 displacement maps files (in .PSD format) and all the Type Distortions Effects in a single .PSD for you to easily preview all the effects using the same design.

2. Click on the down arrow next to the "Map X" layer.
