on this site here link ([http://www.h2.com.tw/eng/index.htm](http://www.h2.com.tw/eng/index.htm)) they have a metal looking design, i was wondering if anyone knew how to make the metal type effect.

I have been trying for a few days now and have since had no luck. I have attached am image of what i am trying to do just in case you have no idea what i am talking about.

this is the part of their site that i like the style of and want to use this look (not the design, just the technique) on a project of mine. Link to what i am after is [[COLOR=Red] **HERE** [/COLOR]](http://img372.imageshack.us/img372/9051/image11fj.jpg)

Any Help would be greatly appreciated.

John.

Cool site. The effect you’re after is done pretty much with gradients and a slight emboss/inner glow. Here I’ve attached a PSD so you can get a better idea.

theres a search facility there so if you type in metal effect you may well find what you are looking for.
