Write some thing bold and big. (i recommend to use a bold and big font so that effects can take place and you can see them clearly.On a thin font these effects might not take place.)For font color use #187485.
We will duplicate the text in the same way, and rotate it the same. Then we want to rasterize the text, to make it an image: Right-Click the text layer we just rotated and mirrored and choose Rasterize Type. Then we can choose the eraser tool and select a soft brush that is around the same size as the text height. For example:
Click on the Type Tool and write something in your work area. I typed "Glass Text" using the Impact font. Your work area should look something like the image below.
This is my first tutorial, so please give me some feedback. I'm writing about the "glass" text effect, to enhance your plain font. This tutorial is a little vague, because the result can change with a few minor tweeks. So, let's begin, shall we?
a) Holding down Ctrl click the Type layer to select it's transparency. Click on the Photo layer, then create a new layer above it. Fill the new layer with a dark color, such as black, by pressing X (to select Black as foreground color), and then Alt+Backspace (to fill). Then deselect (Ctrl+D). Rename this layer 'Highlight', or something to this extent. Set the blending mode for this layer to Overlay. b) With the Highlight layer still selected, go in the menu: Filter > Render > Lighting Effects... Set your texture channel to the bump map created earlier (possibly Alpha 1), then setup some nice lights, according to the Lighting Effects tutorial. Channel height set to 100 'Mountainous', may or may not look hoopy. When this is done, perhaps even change the blending mode to Color Dodge, or Screen... whatever appears the most groovy to your pulsating eyeballs. In addition to the Photo layer, try refracting a layer of black and white scan lines to produce highly detailed moire patterns. This tutorial can also be used to create chrome looking items. Throw down drop shadows, stone textures, disgruntled dots, and hopefully better effects you've come up with by now. Massage the pixels thoroughly, until they stimulate your eyeballs in return, and be sure to experiment until the persistantly unfolding depths of your mind push you to the brink of madness.

We'll begin this tutorial, by creating a new canvas with a size of your choice. Now hit "X" then "D" on your keyboard to make the foreground black and background white. Next select the text tool and choose the text you wish to work with. I chose "Palatino" as text at a size of 91.
