For the lighting effects and etc, it's actually just using several dummy layers of different shades of gray and gradients coupled with different blending modes. It's more like a trial and error thing (and is all up to you), so writing a tutorial might be a little but pointless haha! But of course, I'm taking that into consideration. If I have the time to write, of course I will ;) Oh there is a tutorial about 3D text over here and it’s short and sweet.

Congratulations, too, on your new phone and I think it's very nice. I was busy studying and revising for the UPSR and guess what, I got 5As and I was chosen as Johore's Best 2008 Student. I was so happy and all of my efforts were paid back. Anyway, yes, I like the glowing thing your DESIGN thing. I even started my blogspot again. (But this time, no copy and pastes). <abbr>Check out Adam Danial’s latest blog post » <a href="http://glassatic.blogspot.com/2008/11/eyes-beyond-o-zone-layers.html" rel="nofollow">.eyes beyond the o-zone layers.</a></abbr> Hey, Teddy, I’m back after months of not reading your fantastic blog!

I thought I had learned a lot in this short photoshop workshop in my high school - and I couldn't believe it now that they thought us really, really basic photo-editing stuff and nothing about graphic design. They only thought us how to play with saturation and contrast, cropping and a few basic tools. I love photoshop a lot too! It's one of the best graphic editor/creator I've found! Although GIMP goes around for free, I find the GUI of Photoshop way more intuitive and handy. p/s: Nice new theme you have over there! Awesome stuff! Same here!

Usually I avoid making changes permanent for editable elements (such as keeping texts as vectors and shape masks as what they are instead of rasterising them) to ensure reversibility of my actions. If the way you do it is different, do you mind sharing with us? Thanks! Oh mans I hate revisions! But I guess the only way out is to try my best... gee!

You're just being too generous with your compliments *laughs* anyway, regarding the colour wheel logo, it's actually an asterisk of a font called <a href="http://www.josbuivenga.demon.nl/anivers.html" title="Anivers font" rel="nofollow">Anivers</a>. You can see how I've created the logo from scratch in <a href="http://www.teddy-o-ted.com/tutorials/teddy-risation-zeta-logo/" title="teddY-risatioNâ„¢ Zeta Logo" rel="nofollow">this tutorial</a>. Have fun poking around! And thanks for bookmarking ;) if you don't mind, I'll be linking you and Wendy's shared blog. Teehee! Thanks for dropping by Rin!
