made real quick in an hour or so...
text along path, lighting effects, (kitsch) chrome curves, G'MIC light ray, various motion blurs

I can't read it because I don't know German (I assume it's German :S), but I think it looks nice!

I think the bevel might be a little too...uhm..I don't know how to say, kinda too bubbly, but that's probably preference!

Good work!

Super cool Esper! :bigthup

That center text looks really great too.

Amazing. The receiver will love it.

I think this would look amazing printed on photo paper - and even more amazing as a metallic print, for example, on Kodak Endura Metallic paper (you may need a professional printer to do this)

yes its german (all the best for your 41st birthday)

i dont have much control over the bevel in lighting effects, plus anisotropic smoothing, so there is nothing i could do to change that

i tried to make a Din-A-4 sized card once, wasnt much fun
dont think i will do it again
but nice idea anyway !

@Wallace: thanks, glad you like it !

There is a way to do this by letting the light filter use another channel or layer as a map.

Results (you could use a much more detailed or better map for a much better outcome)
