Do you know what this font is?

Where it says Staff at the bottom of that, whats that font?

Also, whats the filter I use to make those lines in that image I showed above?

Dont know what font that is, but to make the lines, fill a layer with a pattern that is jsut two lines, and then set the opacity to something low... maybe 25% or so.

fill a layer with a pattern that is just two lines? What do you mean? I'm a photoshop newbie.

 

[notfred]

Make a new image that's only two pixels high, and maybe 4 pixels wide. Make the top row a dark color, and the bottom row a light color. Select the whole thing and go "edit > define pattern". Then, go back to the original image, make a new layer, and go "edit > fill > pattern" and select the pattern you just made. Then set the opcaity of the new layer to 25% or so.

Feel free to experiment with colors and opacitys, and you may want to make the original image 3 pixels high and do two rows of dark and one row of light, to make the lines look farther apart. Adjsut it however you want.

that reminds me of a font called "gas." if that image does sport the gas font, be sure to use it only in small sizes, because the style is much different when you use larger letter sizes

font looks like something that came from acid fonts. Look around at Acid fonts

Hmm, gas? Photoshop doesn't have it.

Photoshop doesn't have fonts.

You have to hunt down whatever fonts you want to use and install them.

If you can't figure out how to get free fonts, I think you should just take the short bus back home.

I don't mean to sound stupid, but what do you mean by rows? How do I make 'rows'?

I know how to get free fonts, dowload them, put them in your windows/fonts directory. But what do I do from there?

Images are made up of pixels. These pixels are laid out in a grid pattern. If you take a specific pixel, and select all the other pixels at the same height from the top of the image, you get a row of pixels going across the image.

Once you add a new font, close Photoshop, start it back up, and viola -- the font is available.

I don't mean to sound any stupider, but where is this grid? And how do I 'select' this pixel?

the grid appears when you zoom in very close to the image (like 800%), at which point the marquee tool will only let you select a minimum of 1 pixel (which will look like a big box). The technique the guy's describing is very lean and mean. Define pattern, fill, fiddle with the layer settings (overlay, screen etc.) and you're good to go. BTW the font looks good.
