Step 1:
Create a new file 260 X 30.
Now make the background black.

Step 2:
Create a new layer and and create a red dotted background like this.

I used elliptical marquee tool to make it because then if you want to make a new dot you can use the arrow keys to go down/up/left/right.
or create a pattern or just copy my picture ;D

Step 3:
Type the text you want with a pixel font and type it in a color that you can see easily.
Now hold ctrl and click on the T

Now grab the lasso tool click here if you don't know where it is(or press L, right mouse click on the image -> select inverse.
Now create a new layer while the area around the text is still selected and fill it with black and deselect the area.
(you can remove the text now you don’t need it anymore)

Step 4:
Now duplicate the layer and press ctrl+T and click around 15 times to the right (you can click more it depends on how fast you want it to go). Now duplicate the layer again and click again 15 times the right arrow do this until you got back to the place were you started.
now you should have something like this. Click Here.
(you may notice that some area’s in the text are not filled so fill that with black if your done)

step 5:
now you have to do 2 things.
-Duplicate the layer with the red dots and set the opacity to 30%.
-Press C to get the crop tool and make the area bigger.
Now go to the lowest layer the one you filled with black and go to layer -> layer style and aply these settings. Click Here for first part. Click Here for second part.

step 6:
now go to window -> animation select the first image now duplicate the image in the animation frame like this.

now select the second layer duplicate again and select the third layer do this until you got back to where you started


step 7:
if your have placed everything in the good way go to file -> edit in image ready
now there in the frame whith your text bar in it is a button called optimized

click on it, and mess with the setting so it comes out best (these settings are probably on the right)
now go to file save optimised as and your done.

congratulations you have made your own textboard!!!
