In such case you will have to use one of the many great tools available in the market to give you the effects that you want. In this tutorial, we will be using the Text Applier Tool to create the Tiled Text Effect using Twirl Text Effects. You can use this tool to make any text textured and unique.

So if you don’t want to work on the actual text, you can use Text Applier to create the text pattern. For this tutorial we have created a scene in Photoshop using Snow, Beach Water and Twirl Text Effects. The water drops can be used to make a lot of other textures. We can create a textured beach sandstorm by using this technique. So the Text Applier Tool will be used in this technique to create different text effects.

Give it a name, and select the Text tool from the toolbox.

Click on the circles at the bottom of the tool and change their color to get the matching tone color.
