In this tutorial I will show you how to make an artework like this:

1.
First of all we open a new canvas (The size is not important - but I will create a wallpaper)

2.
Fill the Background black and make a new layer.
Now take the brushes that I gave you with the brush and choose white as color.
Resize the brushes so that one of them needs 1/3 of the canvas. Now add 3 different brushes on the layer. It should look like this:

Don't make them to big or your picture will be overexposed.
3.
Press Strg and click on the layer with the splatters. These should now be selected
Now take a soft brush and colour the edges of the splatters with the three colors you want. The middle of the splatter must stay white - if you painted purely change the color to white and erase it. Should look like this:

4.
Duplicate the layer with Strg+J and put the layer blend modes of the copy to "Screen".
After this select both layers and press Strg+E.
5.
Now we make the text. It should be a fat font style and the color must be white.
Next you have to position your text on the splatters - it should look like my example.
Double klick the layer and go to "Gradient Map". Scaling we will put on 125%. The angel should match with your layer.
Next you click on the gradient and choose the colors of the three splatters you made.

6.
Duplicate the text layer with Strg+J. Rasterize the copy and put it under the original.
Go to filters --> Blur --> Gaussian Blur and set it to 40 pixel.
The layer opacity is set to 25%.

7.
Go to your original text layer and add a Layer Mask. Click on the mask and select your brush with the splatter brushes. Now click randomly at the text and make it look destroyed.
Duplicate the layer with Strg+J. Put the Duplication under the original and rasterize it.
Now click on Layer --> Layer Mask --> Apply.
Next you delete the Gradient Map and press Strg+I. The text on this layer should be black now.
Now move the layer and make a shadow of the coloured part. The layer opacity is set to 50%.

8.
Press Strg+Alt+Shift+E to make a new picture of all the layers.
Next: Filter --> Other --> High Pass. The radius is 70 pixels.
Put the fill manner to Divide Slice and change the layer opacity too 50% - you can change it if you think it is to high!
