Photoshop text Effects

Find yourself a nice photo of a wall to put your logo on (i found this image on the internet with . Every image is suitable if there is a suitable structure (no smooth walls!). Step 2 Place the logo you want to use in a new layer. The logo has to be a pixel-based image (no fonts, paths and shapes) because in the next step we will apply a "perspective transfer" which requires the layer to be pixel-based. Step 3 Select "perspective transform" in the edit-menu en change the aspects of the logo that it fits the perspective of the wall.
