As far as the forums go, try to be as specific as possible when asking for help with something, as it'll get the other posters to think along the same (or similar) lines as you may be.

As far as general Text Effects go, check out

They have quite a few. As far as advice with text effects, try to be as original as possible (or as original as you can be within your project constraints). What I mean is,.. everyone's seen "3D" text in some form or other, so in addition to bevelling and extruding text, try to give yours a little something extra to stand out.

Cheers.
