3D Retro Strip Design - Design Tutorial 20
Now that we have set up our colors and aligned our strip, we already can see the 3D Effect; however, let’s add some glare to it. Take the base and change the color to white, and then Rasterize it (Make sure its a duplicate). Now using your Eraser Tool with a diameter set to 100px, erase everything off besides the top, so it should look like a fade. When you’re done, just set it to overlay.

I have to agree with Patrick … that is NOT the font you need. Oh, and Tommy … try dude, try harder - learn every sigle thing photoshop does. Then try to design you’re style. Great tutorial dude. Best regards from Romania.
