This is a very easy tutorial on creating a motion-type blur font. It can be used to create signatures, website headers, and much more!

Step 1

Creat a new document, and add some text to it. The text should be a darker shade (for better visibility).

Step 2

Copy the text layer you just created, by dragging the layer to the bottom icon (in your layers window)

Step 3

Change the color of the origional layer (the second text layer). I selected a lighter blue, although darker colors work fine too!

Step 4

Rasterize your second layer (the above layer you just colored), in the above menu.

Step 5

On your second text layer go to the Motion Blur Filter in the above menu.

Step 6

Use the above effects once you clicked the motion blur. You can experiment with the distance, but I found 50 looks best.

You can stop here, but because the bottom blur-text layer I used was light, I decided to darken it up a bit...

Optional Step 7

Go to the Adjust Brightness/Contrast option under the Image menu (shown above).

Optional Step 8

On your blur-layer, darken it 100^ to make the text blur effect more noticeable.
