Photoshop tutorial (gold text effect)
So I’m going to be a bit cheeky and rather than write a tutorial simply post a link to one, not because I’m lazy but because this is one of the best tutorials I’ve come across in a long time.
Gold text effects can often look pretty cheap and tacky but Fabio over at psdtuts has written a great little tutorial on how to create a gorgeous gold text effect that oozes class and sophistication as you can see from the end result below which I achieved following his step by step guide.
The best thing is that effect is achieved using gradient overlays which allows you to edit the text even once the effect is applied, which makes it a handy little file to have in your arsnol of design resources.
Also if you’re feeling lazy, you can download my PSD source file and just amend the text as you wish.

Just wanted to say that you are EXTREMLY TALENTED and THANKS for the PSD file with GOLD TEXT. I have been teaching myself for years on how to create better designs. I visit a ton of sites every year just for tutorials. I am still a noob when compared to someone for your talents. But with the help of people like you…I get better every day.
REALLY THANK YOU!!!
