Here is a nice little tutorial that tells you how to create text that looks like it has been assembled out of small 3D blocks. We of course need only Photoshop for it. The final result is shown below:





In this tutorial I will show how you can make letter ‘L’ with this effect. But you could use the same principle to create any other letter or word. First up open up Photoshop and create a new document of size 500px X 500 px. Grab the Rectangle tool from the palette and with the foreground colour selected as #2998ff draw out a small square of size about 15px by 15 px as shown:



Now duplicate this layer (Ctrl+J) and place the new square block below it as shown.



Now keep on duplicating the blocks to trace out the ‘L’ shape as shown.



After you have created the L shape, you don’t need the blocks to remain in separate layers. So Ctrl+Click on all the block layers on the layer palette to select them and then Right Click and choose ‘Merge Layers’. Rename this layer to ‘Lbottom’



Now you will need to distort this layer a bit so as to change the perspective and give it a sort of 3D look. For this, while having the Lbottom layer selected, press Ctrl+T to transform the layer. Now right click on the canvas and select ‘Distort’.



Adjust the top middle handle of the transform box so that the L assumes the following shape:
