STEP 4 Choose Edit > Transform > Rotate and rotate your text layer about 15° counterclockwise, and then press Enter/Return. To create a clipping mask from your text in the shape of your midtones layer, press Alt+Ctrl+G/Option+Ô+G. Feel free to play around with the color of the text layer to achieve different results. For instance, you may like the layout better after changing the color to white. Great! When you have the colors the way you like them, use your grungy posterized text hamburger in a fun layout like the one shown in Figure 44-3.
