Once upon a time, I worked on a piece like this. It says "Ozone."



Your letter forms are good for only your first try!

Nah..tagging would require an alley, a wall, a ski mask, a down coat, a rucksack, many filthy cans, some deep paranoia, and good quadriceps for the eventual footrace.

butt oooh they're shiny and purty.

mantiS, I'd say ditch the "glow", it seems to kill the sharpness of the letters which looks really sweet without it.
I'd work some mor white highlight in too..I love the sharp unfilled style of your highlight, but maybe a bit of fill white here and there.

Nice.

Hey nice work, lose the glow, or darken the outer edges for a lil definition as mbridge has done with his. Mebbe '296' with less bevel ? Good stuff anyways =)

DG man you forgot the gloves!

Hey I like using the glows, but they do kill the edges. What I usually do is place a second layer, under my type but above the glow, cool? Put a black copy of the text shape there and blur it by .5 or 1 pixels. If the black is too heavy, set the layer to hard light, it's take on the color of the glow (which extendsbeyond it), but the darkness will snap the egdes back for you. That glass is purty, heh.

Your pal, -doc-
