great tutorial. thanx
but i have one question please.
can you do the same tutorial with an “A” letter?
that’ll be very nice
You can follow the tutorial,
just use any shape you like.
you can either trace the letter “A”,
or you can even use a font.
Just apply the same styles!
Thanks for watching!
OK. I will try it 🙂
Quite a long tutorial… 45 min! but the result is worth it. Such a high quality image.
Michael,
I wanted it to be a “high quality image” as you said,
and the only way to get it is to put in the work and spend some time!
Thanks for watching!
ok im not a photoshop guru ….but this guy knows his stuff….he goes really fast so i had to keep pausing…and also used my own back ground and created the heart logo using circles…may be i should have gotten a pic online or something..also i just duplicated the j to get that effect..but ..I really could nt keep up with all of the layer mask stuff. I think hes a really good teacher .
I posted the picture on here for those who want to see ..please let me know what you think…for a rookie am I

Thanks for watching Aqib!
Learned so much from this! Super awesome! Some great techniques in this tutorail! Love it!
Thanks for your comment Matthew!
Glad you liked this tutorial! It has been my most popular tutorial so far!
It’s a good one – I’m a PS teacher as well but I don’t do it online. I do use online tutorials (good ones, like yours) as part of my teaching along with teacher demo and peer teaching too. I teach high school – my students have come back to me and said they didn’t want to take photoshop all over again in college but were told by the college they had to. My kids knew more than the instructors! Underhanded compliment.
I also have many Hispanic students and you have shown them that photoshp is easy once you put in the work.
Good job
Thank you so much, Dolores!
thank his video tutorials
No prob!
Downloaded the file. Can not extract.
I was able to download the file once but unable to extract or open it. I can’t download it again. Evertime I try the download button does not appear.
sent you an email with the link
Thanks Got it. Works.
I think because I don’t belong to facebook, google+ or tweet is the reason I can not get a download button to appear. In the future instead of bothering someone who has a plate full already with all the help you are providing I will find similar photos and textures on my own to follow along with.
Great tutorials by the way and thanks again 🙂
Done
Learned a lot from this. Thanks

Thanks Arjun!
hi
where can you find the “S”-psd file??it is f***ing awsome…
I don’t have the PSD file available for download. You have to create it by following the tutorial! 🙂
Hi there. Great tutorial.
But I have one difficulty. At 26.24 you create a new material adjustment layer and change its blending mode to multiply/ But When I do the same thing it multiplies with the gradiented extrusion but not the background group so no background comes through at all. When you put its opacity down to 40% afterwards its still very grey and you can hardly see the background.
Do you have any idea what could be wrong?
Scotty, I really can’t tell what’s wrong by your description. Sounds like it could be a layer order problem, or another layer has a blending mode that should not be there. Feel free so send me you file and I could look at it. (Although it might take me some time to reply back)
hi can you send me the fifle please i can not download it
my email is samisac66@hotmail.com
Hey, Excellent work!!!!
But can you provide me with the background pictures you worked with????
I just cant find them…

It’s on this page!
Right below the final image.
Work of art!!!!!!
You have blessing in your hands…….
I enjoy as always!!!!
Thank’s Bro!!
Thank You, Shlomi!
I’ve tweeted but download link doesn’t appear & my newsletter signup gets rejected. Could you add me and send link to the tutorial files? Thanks for the AWESOME tutorial!!!!
Try clicking on the “X” to the right of the buttons. Does it come up? If not message me through the Contact Us page. Thanks!
I’m trying to do this, however when I do the logo (Select a ney layer+ make the logo, etc.) I cannot do the extra shapes on the logo and afterwards i cannot duplicate them on the background. I do not have the option in the duplicate to. Can you help me with a tip, please?
It’s hard to help you just by what you wrote. Can you provide links to screenshots where you describe your issue?
If you do send me links, send them through the Contact form in the Contact Us page.
Thanks!
where is the .psd file of logo? you said it is included here. i want it to get the shapes better. can provide me one?
The files for download are above. I don’t provide the finished .PSD only the assets to follow along.
What lines would you use in the flash logo instead of the superman logo?
I’m not sure what you mean by lines. Can you explain your question?
Your awesome man. I had to create a youtube account just to say so. I’ve seen plenty of tutorials and never felt compelled to create an account to say “Thank You!” Keep it up. Also, I run a digital apparel printing business. Check it out on facebook. Genius Apparel.
Thank you so much for the comment! I really appreciate it! 🙂
I’ll check out your FB page!
Thank you for your tutorial. It’s really useful and worth to follow.
You’re welcome!
Thank you so much bro. You are brilliant.
I followed your tutorial as part of my college assignment and trust me I learnt way more than what I did in the academy.
For some reason the image looks too saturated in my phone but it looks normal in my laptop. Any idea why it is like that.
Here’s the link to my image, would appreciate you critiques.

All displays are not the same. Read up on proofing colors, and how images are displayed on different screens. It’s not an easy thing to answer on a comment.
Awesome video! I have been using Photoshop for over 20 years and STILL learning things like this. Thank you.
