Awomse tutorial SM. Well explained, very easy. I think tought the opacity needs to be a bit higher, it's a little hard to see the reflextion text.

This is a pretty good tutorial. Steps are explained clearly and it is easy to follow.
One thing I would suggest to all of you who try it is that if you are going to have reflected text, use a less complicated background. Its just my personal opinion, but putting reflected text on a background full of colors and shapes just doesnt seem like the text would actually be reflected. But that is only advice and is not meant to take anything away from the tutorial.
and eyzzat, if you want to make a moving/animated graphic, you would need to use something like adobe imageready.
