How to create pressed letter effect in Photoshop

Tutorial on January 25th, 2010 View Comments

As from I launched my personal website on 18/01/10, my friends, who like to play around in Photoshop and discover its great potential, have been asking me how I created the pressed letter look for the site title. Their requests made me realise the popularity of this effect. So, I decided to write a short tutorial explaining the effect. I guess there are many fellas out there wanting to try out this effect and even implement in their projects. So, hope this tutorial will be of some help. Read more »

Hello World!

Hello there!

After a literally long wait, eventually I’ve just launched my website. Therefore I do leap for joy at the moment :) It feels truly and utterly amazing!

As of I became acquinted with design (approximately since 2005 ), particularly web design, I’ve always wanted to have my own web site.  Even though I’ve designed 11 web sites in total for clients in Turkey and Sweden between 2005-2010, I had got neither time nor money nor motivation/inspiration to realise this dream. I made several attempts before, yet none could make it here.

Well, the dream has become true now. So, I guess there is no point in talking about this any more. Today is a new beginning for me. I believe today would be marked and remembered as the beginning  of a new era of my professional design career.

Speaking of what this site contains, well it is basically a place where I showcase my skills. Besides, from time to time I’ll post design related articles. Maybe even some personal stuff sometimes ;)

Before finishing up this very first post, I’d like to thank those who have always showed their support in various ways throughout this journey. Especially, my beloved brother Ali, my dear friend and great person Serdar, and of course dear Sara.

Greetings

Uçar, Metin
