With the text layer selected go to Layer>Layer Style>Drop Shadow.
The word I added is Abduzeedo and I used Arial Black for the font. After that add a text in a vertical order. Make sure that the background is in black. Open Photoshop and create a new document, the size I'm using is 1113x1440 pixels. The whole process won't take you more than 45 minutes and the level of this tutorial is in my opinion easy, but it require some attention to the details.
So in this tutorial I will show you how to create a very nice light effect using basic filters, layer style, blend modes and some stock photos. I loved that effect and thought it would be a good exercise trying to do that in Photoshop.
What really caught my attention was the effect applied in the text, sort of those old signage that casinos used to have. A few weeks ago while walking on the streets of NYC, I saw this big billboard of a movie called Burlesque ( ).
