We often forget the importance of the text style whether it is for print or web. Today, we would like to share with you five pretty cool tutorials showing you how to create 3D text effects.

Have you ever come across a design and wondered what techniques were used to come up with the end result? In some cases, if you miss a step, your design may greatly differ from the one you tried to replicate. On the other hand, experimenting with the features of the application you use can result in a masterpiece.
