B.)Creating Title :
1.) Open a new document with background as black and foreground as white( not necessarily these colors but for differentiation purpose)
2.)Type any text,in this example,'STAR' such that the text color is white. Choose a font which is wider so that the pattern when filled, can be visible properly.
3.)Now create a copy of the text, using CTRL+J (first select text layer). Hide the text layer.Use the copy of tect layer.
4.)Right click the copy of the Text layer and select 'rasterize type'.
5.) Use, Select menu > color range and select the text so that the entire text in white is selected. This is the suitable option for selection because it is an ordinary rasterized layer.

(a) Pattern Overlay > Select the pattern created above and scale it to 27 %
(b) Bevel > Select > style- Inner bevel, Technique - chisel soft, Depth-411 %, Direction-up, size- 172, soften-16px. and options-default.

C.) Background:
1.)Select the Background layer and rasterize it or create a new layer and fill it with color.
You can have plain background because the text is filled.But, too plain may not be satisfactory, so let us add light so that it matchs with the theme also.
2.) Select, Filter menu > Render > Lens flare and use the default settings or increase the size if you want BUT, position it in top right corner.
3.) Select the Filter menu > Lens flare ( last filter option) so that lens flare is applied again using same settings and brightness is increased.
Similarly, you can make different themes with different styles.
