Step#1:
- Create your new document for the new design , just make sure that there is a lot of extra empty spaces in your design .
- Fill your first layer with a black color as a background , or chose your special color as you want . I prefer black for a background in our case .
- Now in the middle of your design start adding your text , make sure that is in the center of your design , have a clear appearance and a little bit of font style on it like a lit bit of sharp edges or something .
- If your text in not in the center , just select your text layer and move it with the Move tool , or with the move tool selected Click Ctrl+A to select all the design then click on Align horizontal centers , and then click on Align vertical centers icon in the Photoshop top bar .

Take a look at the attached image .

Step#2:
In this step will make 3 main actions to prepare the text to the next level .
- Duplicate the text layer to have an original layer for the text , so you can use it in case of any thing happened .
- First Restrize your text layer , Right click on you text layer and select " Resterize Type ".
- Second we need to duplicate the new Resterized text layer 4 times , there is many ways to do this , the easiest way is to drag the layer to create new layer icon in your layers pallet 4 times ,

Now we have 5 copies of the text layer
