Golden opportunities in Photoshop

I was reading up on Abduzeedo.com the other day, and he had posted a blog-post about creating realistic gold-font in Photoshop.

This is something I know many have tried, and many have failed. However, his post merely showed a picture and a comment stating: “I’m writing a tutorial showing how to do that”, which of course means it’s not finished yet.

Seeing the picture of Gold Style in Photoshop I decided I had to find out about this for myself.

Amazingly, working entirely with the Layer Style of a font, I was able to create the gold effect you see on attached pictures.

Also after creating the gold font, I got inspired to create an entire fictive ad that worked with the font, and the pictures below show the end result.

Hiya, i would believe when i were here few months ago, i´ve found a tutorial step by step about the “golden opportunities …” , is right. I want to ask if there would be a chance to get this tutorial. You did a great job.
Thank you ;-)

Ah yes I definitely need to update some tutorials and more work, it’s been a hectic few months :/ But now summer vacation is just days away, and the blog will be as busy as never before! :)
