Initials

For my first initial  I used the warp tool followed by a white to yellow gradient. I then added a pattern overlay and changed the blending mode to where it would show gradient. I then added a white drop shadow and changed the direction.

For my second initial I used a flag warp, red to white gradient overlay, inner shadow, outer shadow, bevel, and finally a inner glow with a slight noise to add a little extra effect.

For my third initial I first used a warp and then went into 3D mode and messed around with extrusion and shadow. I then added a gradient overlay and changed blend mode a bit to add a stronger color effect. After that the final thing I did was add a blue outer glow.
