I have been seeing this guy's work for a long time, he's just a brilliant artist. And one thing that I find in common in all of his works is a little texture behind the text. This is his website: http://artxigu.jimdo.com/

Like this:

As you can see in this, there are a lot of small black lines behind the text forming a kind of checkers effect. I think it has something to do with drop shadow. I did try the halftone effect but that produces circles not checkers.

You can see that effect in this too:

It will be a big help if you can teach me how to do this since writing the text is my weakest part.

  • From your halftone settings choose diamonds, lines, stars, etc. rather than circles for another effect. – Takkat Mar 12 '15 at 12:18
  • I can't see where I can select diamonds, lines, stars,etc in color halftone. – spyk3iartist Mar 12 '15 at 12:39

  • Go to Filter > Filter Gallery. Then select Sketch and you'll see Halftone pattern in there. From there you select diamonds, lines, stars etc. – KJP Mar 12 '15 at 14:32
