This piece was built as a template so that the text could be easily moved or edited from a single layer, while maintaining all of the appropriate visual shifts simulating the effect of reading through broken glass.
Each section of broken glass was masked and connected to a mirrored smart object. This means that each broken section does not need to be moved individually when making a change to the text.
The cracks have a slight rainbow effect to add vibrancy to the image. The text has a color channel shift to make it feel more connected.
