Learn to make a beautiful, 3-dimensional text effect in Adobe Photoshop. I'll show you how to use your own hand lettering or any digital typeface. You will learn to use smart objects and non-destructive layer styles to create a design that is fully customizable and a stunning effect.

After making this one time, you can use your Adobe Photoshop file over and over again to create different artwork. I'll teach you how to swap out the lettering while maintaining the dimensional effects, so that, like magic, any new design you place in the file will take on the same appearance.
