The bevel text effect is commonly used in covers. It is making the text on a cover appear embossed or 3D-ish. A bevel effect can often make text appear more interesting, or if used incorrectly, make your text seem just weird. I have a lot of experience with that problem.
Or not. But in this tutorial I will teach you how to make a bevel effect, on Photoshop, then on Canva. (The one on Canva can also be done on other apps.)
Method 1
This is for Photoshop users only. I know... there are like a billion graphic designers out there that don't use Photoshop, but if you want to know how to do it without Photoshop, then skip to method 2.
This is a very simple method and most people would probably know this already, but for those who don't, I'll teach you.

Click on 'Bevel Emboss.' A small window will open.

It should be set to the default settings, or the last bevel effect you used.
