What you will need
*** Photoshop (I'm using CS5) *** Vectors From here
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Instructions
*** Open up photoshop. Go to File>New and use these settings.

*** Once you have the text typed, go to the layer properties and set them as such (NOTE: Animated GIF):

(For the pattern, just use any type of scanlines. Just whatever looks nice.)
*** You should now have something that looks like this:

- Right click on the layer with the text, and choose 'Duplicate layer'
- Move the layer that is on top about 4-5 places to the right.
(Do this by tapping the right arrow button)
*** You will now have something that looks similar to this:

*** Now it's time to add the vectors in.
This is the pretty easy part. Just drag-n-drop the images onto photoshop, resize them accordingly, and place them where they look nice. There's not really a way I can explain it other than to use what feels right to you. Try to stick with using the same color groups though, or else it will look weird.
Here's the kind of end result you are looking for:
