Step 1
Choosing the background image for a glass effect is an important part of making the effect look great. You want to make sure that the background adds to the glass effect, but at the same time it shouldn’t overwhelm it or make it less visible or clear.
Here, a simple bokeh background image is used, but you can use any other image you like, keeping in mind that some settings might need to be tweaked depending on the image you choose.
So start off by creating a 850 x 550 px document, place the bokeh texture 5 on top of the Background layer, resize it as needed, then you can merge it with the Background layer.

Choosing the font is another important part of getting a great final result. A bolder, fancier font will definitely better showcase the effect.
So create the text in All Caps using the font Rialto and the font Size 220 pt.

Change the text layer’s Fill value to 0, then create 3 more copies of the text layer so that you have a total of 4 text layers.
