I am a very beginner in after effect, done some investigating and am currently trying to:
1)
"Animate the Evolution property over time by using an expression such as time*90 (which will give you one complete evolution every four seconds)."
2) Add the Set Matte effect to the solid layer (Effect> Channel>Set Matte) and choose your text layer as the source layer. (How do i select the source layer)
3) "Add some subtle gradients and vignettes to your composition with masked solids or the Ramp effect, or use textures with - or as - track mattes."
This is from the following article:

Just not sure which / where to do those things
