|
| Start off by making a new Photoshop document with dimensions of 260x185, or bigger if you'd like to create text with more letters. Create some text using 150pt Arial Black or any other thick font. |
 |
|
|
|
|
| Apply the bevel and emboss layer style (layer > layer style > bevel and emboss) to the text, using the settings shown below. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Make a selection using the text (select > load selection) |
|
|
|
|
|
| Create a new layer, set the foreground color to F1F1F1 and the back ground color to a darker tone (979797). Choose the gradient tool, set it to linear gradient and then drag the distance and direction of the red arrow (image a). |
