In this tutorial you will learn how to make realistic 3D looking text and shapes. Photoshop is not 3D software, however we can use old school combined with some modern techniques to fake it the best we can.
Sometimes you need to create a 3D software box, hardcover book, or other box-like object in a pinch. It could be done the long way by using a 3D program, or you could even take a digital photo of the real item. However, a fairly good result can be achieved with nothing more than a 2D image of the cover of the box and Photoshop.
Learn how to make your print work look good in your portfolio and how to use the transform tool in Photoshop to help you get the most out of showcasing your design.
