In this tutorial, I will teach you how to create the rusty text above.

Step1: Setting up workspace.
Create a new image using the dimension  800 x 600. Set the background color to white, or whatever background you are planning to put the image on.

Step2: Finding the texture and adding it to Photoshop.
Go to google and search for "Rusty Texture" when you find something you like copy it. (Right click on the image and click copy) I used an image from pixelperfectdigital.com, which can be found by clicking Here. Paste you image into Photoshop. After pasting the image into about, hold Ctrl and click on the image layer to select it. With the layer selected click Edit Define Patter click Here to see a video example.

You can delete the layer with the texture.

Click on the Type Tool and write something in your work area. I typed "pixel" using the Impact font. Right click on the Text layer and click Blending Options and add the settings below.
