How did you do that depth thing? Is that CS3?

Delux's mini tutorial about how to the "depth thing" (©Dano)

I'll be explaining the basics of my method.

First of all I use a letter that I made. I'll go with a fancy K. Of course, if your lazy you can use one of the font that's floating arround in the web.



I named the layer "K up" and colored it in a red color.

Now duplicate this layer and name it "K down". Recolore it to black.



Now use the "manual transformation" - I'm not sure if that's how it say in the english version of photoshop - on the "K down" layer or just Ctrl+T reduce, move up or down, transform the letter as you want to. Now add a layer between "K down" and "K up", name it "Depth".
As for me, I'll go with a simple reduction of the size and moved it to the right side.



Here's the fun part, reduce the opasity of "K up" to something like 85%. Now click on the "depth" layer, and use the "polygonal lasso" tool. Do selection between the both K like in my pic, and put some black color.



Now do that for every where it should.



Let's add some relief to this. Merge the both layers "K down" and "Depth". Re-name it "Depth". Re-colore it (Ctrl+u) to something like a dark red. Add two layers under "K up", name them "black" and "white", make the both in overlay mode. And just play with the brush , with the black and white colors and low density to make the shadows and the others stuffs...
