Type can be warped in all kinds of ways, in this video tutorial I show you how to warp it when it is combined with a layer and that layer is then turned into a smart object and warped via the Photoshop 2020 edit menu and transform and warp and the design is folded and distorted in all kinds of ways. The artwork is then selected and edit menu and define pattern or it is saved as a pattern preset via the pattern panel. You can then use it via the edit menu and fill command with the random fill script to create all kinds of amazing patterns / textures for use in fills and brush textures etc
