I got an email from someone asking for a tutorial on how to make brushed aluminum text in Photoshop. This technique is very easy to accomplish using only a few basic Photoshop tools and filters. We’ll be creating a new document, and using the noise and motion blur filters to create our aluminum. We’ll then add some text and play around with a few simple techniques. Let’s get started.

This tutorial will show you how to create a simple brushed aluminum website header similar to this.
