001 This tutorial shows you how to make the text in this particular layout. (<- clickable) Firstly, Make a new image and type out your text in quite a chunky font. I am using Arial Black.



002 Now Double click on your text layer, go to Gradient Overlay. Set your settings to the same / or very close to mine.



003 Then add a slight drop shadow, by double clicking on the layer again. With a similiar setting to mine again.



004 Now, to make the reflection, duplicate the text layer, rasterize it and flip it over by right clicking and go Free Transform -> Flip Vertical. Move it down to below the original text and line it up.



005 Next, set the duplicated text layer to around 40% and erase the bottom half of the text. Now you are done!
