Another effect i thought was pretty cool was this line thing, it looks really neat and you can do it many different colours to look very effective. you have to create a new brush though. create a curved white line on a black background using the pen tool, then go to the layer its on, then ctrl+click to select it, then go to edit>define brush preset, and now you have made the right brush for it (my curve wasnt very good). the define brush preset might not come up the first time, try selecting with magic wand tool)

Photoshop text effects- Lava text

this is a pretty cool tutorial I found, its a lava style text, i thought i might use it for my "the dangers of alcohol" title. http://www.tutorialwiz.com/lava_text/

also a photoshop filter thingy that i thought was pretty neat was the Extrude thingy, it looks awesome, you go to filter>stylize>extrude this is an example of what it looks like:

this is part of what the lava text is, but i kinda stuffed it up, so you cant see all of the text (it was obviously my first time trying this one out haha) and the extrude filter thing is what makes the clouds look like their coming at you. i thought this might be quite a good text to put as my heading because its rather broght and eyecatching, and is quite interesting.
