help

[*Celeste*]

I need a font or alphabet that has flames on it or looks like it has burning around the edges. Or is inspired by the book cover below.

My son has to make a book cover for school based on this book.



I found a cool graphic that he can copy and add that medallion from the book on top of. But now I need help with font recommendations.


Any ideas?

Hmm, I don't know about a specific font but could you maybe get that effect using the smudge tool or a brush?

ETA: Here's a bunch of flaming type fonts too: http://www.dafont.com/theme.php?cat=111

Celeste, what if he duplicated the font 2xs and then applied a motion blur to the duplicate layers at different angles? might get you close to a similar look.
