Add your main image.
Step 15
Add your text, use a suitable font.

To add a Stroke/Drop shadow right click the text layer and select blending options from the drop down menu.
Your image should now look like this.

Add a border.
Mine is a simple 1 pixel line that goes around the entire image. I did this with the pencil tool.
Hopefully the image you’ve made will look respectable at the very least, this is a very simple image however using these basic principles you’ll soon be able to make some very cool images.
Using the above methods images such as the following can be produced:
