motion blur: tutorial 1

For the third layer, go to filter > blur > motion blur and select a distance of 35-50 pixels. I picked 46.

And now, for the final layer, select a distance of a number in-between 10 and your highest, previous value.

I picked 30 pixels.

your final result should look like this:

Step 8: Colour change of the background

This is simple. Don't like the colours you've used?

Double-click on your layer labelled 'Layer 0.' You should have a pop-up like this:

Go to colour overlay

Click on the rectangle I've circled for you as shown in the picture below, and select whatever colour you want. When you're done, click OK.

I picked a shade of blue, and my sample now looks like this.

Now, for the text change.

Step 9: Changing the text colour

Select the 4 text layers and right click. Click the option that says: convert to smart object. This will merge your layers into one.

Double click on your new, merged layer, and repeat the step from above to change the colour.

If you want to have a transparent background, simply click the 'eye' button next to 'Layer 0.'

Step 10: Save

Go to file > save as > save as a png > save  to save your final picture. Now, use it for whatever graphic you'd like!
