Text like this?

Mar 29, 2010 5:39 PM

Does anyone here know where I can make text like this?

 

See how this text looks like the Apple style, its like embeded into the background. I have looked for many tutorials but didnt come acorss one that is even a close match.

 

If someone is able to maybe make me a psd of it or link me to a tutorial on how to do this, would be awesome.

    Create your background layer.  In this case approximately 50% gray was used with a circular highlight gradient applied to brighten the center. 

     

    Place your type on top of the layer.  I don't know what font was used if you want to exactly match it.

     

    Now in the Layers palette, select the type layer.  Right click, choose Blending Options.  Click the Bevel and Emboss menu item on the left. 

     

    In Bevel and Emboss, use settings similar to this:

    Next apply the Outer Glow effect by clicking the Outer Glow menu item on the left of the dialog.  Use settings similar to this:

    You can then use the New Style button in this dialog to save the settings to apply in the future without needing to recreate them.

    That's an inner shadow, not an inner bevel.

    True; if you apply the bevel with those settings the result is nearly indistinguishable.  But for

    correctness' sake, the inner shadow settings below will work:
