INSTRUCTION GUIDE

1. Text
Using the text styles is quite easy. You have two options here: Either you use my PSD file as a template to type your own text and drag it into the document of your choice, or you can apply the styles to simple text with no styles.
Each color version of the text is created with 2 text layers, one over another, a Front and a Back. The Back text is a little less wider than the front - the horizontal scale from the Character palette is set to 98%.
So to create the text from scratch, make one text style set to 98% horizontal scale, and above it one to 100% scale. Then apply the styles to each of them.

2. Background lights
The background lights are created using a scattered brush and layer style (3 layer styles actually, one for each color of the text styles). Create a new layer, go to blending options and apply one of the Lights style. Then, go to the Brushes panel, click on the little right arrow (as it is in PS CS2) and select Load Brushes. Pick the ABR file and start painting in this layer. 

That's all.
Enjoy!
