Steps 5 through 10

Step 5:

Now make a copy of your 'Inferno' layer set, on your layers palette highlight the 'inferno' layer set and go to Layer > Duplicate Layer Set. Then go back to Layer > Merge Layer Set. You should now have a copy of your 'inferno' typography design in a new layer.

Step 6:

With the 'Inferno copy' layer apply a Crystallized Filter Effect, Filter > Pixelate > Crystallized. Set the cell size setting to 10.

Step 7:

Go to Filter > Sharpen > Sharpen More. Apply two times on the crystallized design layer.

Step 8:

Now move the crystallized design layer under the original type design on the layers palette. See the picture below for proper positions.

Step 9:

Under Layer Style(Layer > Layer Style) add an Inner Shadow blending option to the crystallized design layer. Then set the layers blending mode to Lighten.

Step 10:

Make a marquee selection around your entire text design then go to Edit > Copy Merged. Then go back to Edit and choose Paste. A new layer with the entire text design should appear on your canvas and layers window.
