Not long ago,Chris Coyier and Jeff Starr released their latest book, Digging Into Wordpress ,a truly Wordpress Bible.Are you asking why I named it “Bible”? Maybe that`s because it`s stuffed with everything you need to take your WordPress skills to the next level and really get the most out of WordPress,or maybe is because it has 400 Pages of Practical Information,from the first steps all the way trough the most deeper secrets of Wordpress.

Even if by blog doesn`t have many Wordpress related content,the entire website sits on a Wordpress platform and seems like it will never leave it.I`m a big fan of Wordpress and my opinion is that if you want to have one of the best possible blog ever,you should start reading the book immediately!

In this tutorial I`m gonna show you how to create a piece of metal with a graved text on it.

Along the way I`ll show you how to create effects like Metal Effect,Inner Graved Text Effect or Mirror Reflection Effect in Photoshop.We`ll use two custom elements:a Custom Font and an original Grunge Brush Set.
