Create Text and Karton Layer

1. Select type tool or press CTRL/CMD + T and create a Text
2. Choose your font and style your text
3. Select your Text Layer and Click Create Karton
4. This creates a new Shape Layer beneath your Text Layer with a custom *Karton* effect.
5. Change the color on your Karton Layer and adjust the *Padding* as needed

Create a Control Layer

1. Add a *Null Layer* and add a *Slider Effect*
2. Rename your *Null Layer* to “Control Layer”
3. Rename the *Slider Effect* to “Seed”

<aside> 💡 Later, we will use the "Seed" layer to control the ripping and distortion.

Create the Ripped-Paper-Effect

Turbulent Displace #1

This will be a big displacement

1. Select your Karton Layer

2. Add *Turbulent Displace*

3. In my case, on a 1920×1080px composition, Set the value as seen in the screenshot.

4. Add an expression on the *Offset (Turbulence)* value:

   toComp(value)
   

5. Add an expression on the *Random Seed* value

6. Pickwhip the “Seed” Slider value previously created

Turbulent Displace #2

This will be a small displacement

1. Duplicate the the created effect
2. In my case on a 1920×1080px composition, Set the value as seen on the screenshot
3. Leave the *Offset (Turbulence)* as is

Fractal Noise

This will create a paper texture

1. Add *Fractal Noise*

2. In my case, on a 1920×1080px composition with an off-white Karton, Add the value as seen in the screenshot.

3. Add an expression on the *Offset Turbulence* value:

   toComp(value)
   

4. Add an expression on the *Random Seed* value

5. Pickwhip the “Seed” Slider value previously created

6. Don’t forget to set the *Blending Mode* to *Multiply*

<aside> 💡 The toComp(value) function will ensure that the ripped edge moves with the Text Layer.

</aside>

Create the lines

1. Duplicate the Karton Layer
2. On the duplicated Layer Set the *Fill* to *None*
3. Set the *Stroke* to *2px* and recolor to blue
4. Set the *Padding* to *2px*
5. Set the *Padding left* and Padding Right to around *100*

<aside> 💡 The goal of setting the *Padding left* and *Padding Right* to over *150 %* is to extend the paper layer, creating a line-like appearance.

</aside>

Create Matte

1. Delete the *Fractal Noise* effect and the *Turbulent Displace #2* – but leave the *Turbulent Displace #1* as is
2. Make the paper layer a trackmatte of the line layer

Create advanced Dropshadow

If you prefer, you can create a default drop shadow and skip this step, but I prefer making an advanced one since it looks much more sophisticated.

1. Create a new *Solid Layer* or Double Click the *Rectangle Tool*
2. Rename to “Shadow Dark”
