In this tutorial I will show you how you can create text with a nice rotated shadow effect.

To begin select the ¡°Text tool¡± or press ¡°T¡±. Now, write some text, for example, ¡°Text¡± (without quotes). Then copy and paste the text and go to: Modify -> Transform -> Flip vertical. After that place the copied text right below the first text - see the picture below.

Now you have to make some effect for the flipped text. Select the flipped text and go to color panel. Then click the ¡°Fill Options¡± button and select ¡°Gradient¡± option. (Next two images)

Now, we have this situation.

You have to do this:

After you positioned the gradient line like it¡¯s on the picture above, select the flipped text, go to the color panel and set these two colors ¨C white (#FFFFFF) and light blue (#0099FF). Check the image below.

This way you have the text with great shadow effect. Of course, change the colors the way you like.
