Create a Dream Design with 3D Typography. Hello, my name is Alex Beltechi, a designer that is currently studying in college and working in the print media realm. I would love to explain my vast experience and overwhelming knowledge to you, but due to the fact that I have no such qualities, I’ll stick to sharing what skills I’ve been developing lately, through tutorials. Among keyboard shortcuts and mouse clicks, I enthusiastically tap piano keys and dream of adjusting a lens’ focus.

Also, the typography should have a classic, storytelling look; one that would complete the eerie atmosphere. 50 Excellent 3D Adobe Illustrator Tutorials - Smashing Magazine.
