Embedding Text onto a net

[Hitalo]

Hello I've been working very hard to try to learn how to embed text onto a net. Like Tennis Rackets have their logo. If anyone can point me in the right direction I would GREATLY appreciate it.

I think they use paint
sorry couldn't help myself.

How are you making the Netting?

Hehe well to be honest... I've been using images off the internet of already made courts to practice which are in a single layer but , I guess creating the court myself and having the net on the different layer will help to focus the effect between the text and the net itself. To make the net I will most likely just Define the pattern of the net then use the fill option. I'm sure there are better ways which I am open to suggestion.

I'm very amateur with PS as you can probably tell hehe.
Thanks for the quick reply

Somthing like that may be better in Illustrator.

Ok. What Command in Illustrator can help me with this.

 

[MarcusStringer]

There isn't a Command as such.
It's not an easy task but you could play around with the gradient mesh option
or set up a brush for the net.
I think once you have the net the rest is easy, simply putting the type on top and getting rid of the little holes in the net

Truy using a blending mode such as multiply or overlay. I have heard and seen around here that sometimes there are problmes with using them. So I suggest saving a tiff file before using it in a text layout porgram.
