In this adobe photoshop tutorial we will be making a stylish glowing web 2.0 text effect. I know there is different opinions on what a web 2.0 graphic is, and I have read thousand of different definitions, here is one that I think would fit in that category.

Here is some of the elements a web 2.0 graphic can contain (note I dont say must contain) some glossiness, sleek curved lines or just a unique design.

First type in the text you want to apply this effect to.

Then in the layers panel double click the text layer to get to the layers styles panel and give it settings as shown below.

And we are done.. that was quite easy.
