Create a trendy 3D text effect with special smoke!

1. Let’s start out by creating a new file. We will be creating a 3D text effect with special smoke. I used a 800×300 pixels canvas set at 72dpi, and I filled my background with a black color. Then make a new layer set and name it ‘text design’.

2. Now select the horizontal type tool then set the font family to arial black, regular, 80 pt, smooth and white color. In a new text layer type your name.

3. Under layer style (layer – layer style) add a drop shadow, inner shadow, inner glow and gradient overlay blending options to your name text layer.
