A tutorial on creating reflective style text.

-------------------------------

Step 1: Create a document with these settings:

Step 2: Fill the background a colour, and type your text. Here is what mine looks like:

Step 3: Duplicate the layer (CTRL+J), Flip it vertically (Right click the text for the menu), and position it like so:

Step 4: Rasterize the duplicated text layer. Right click the text and choose Perspective. Drag the pointers until you have something that resembles this:

Step 5: Lower the opacity of the layer to around 60%

Done! You should have achieved this:

There are many other ways as to make it better looking, such as gradient overlays ect, I have shown the basics!

That font is the Adema font, which is Millenium Bold Extended BT. I downloaded mine before they decided you had to pay for it. The text is automatically like that.
