How do I create the same effect as the Pimp My Ride title on http://www.mtv.com
It doesn't have to be the same font but I'm looking to recreate the effect
that it's jumping at you in a 70s disco style.
You could ultimately suggest a font that has this effect, but I'd like to know
how to create it for whichever font I want to use.
thanks

I didnt finsh that last sentence ...

in FH or illus. you can use the 3d effects to achieve what mtv did
I'm pretty sure they used freehand or illustrator to do that .... I guess
you could apply a drop shadow in FW with a blur of 0 and an angle of 270
but
I havent tried it out... in FH or Illus.

right click on 70s text.stl and install through the styles panel.

It's a mix of heavy styling - a glow and several drop shadows. Might not
resize to very large sizes (because of the shadow calculations), but should
be okay for web stuff.
