Open Photoshop and make a new document. Size I choose was 500×200pixels.
First thing to do make the box white if it isn’t white already, you can do this by using the Paint Bucket Tool.

When its white right click the layer and go to Blending Options.

Now add some text.

And if you want you can type one portion of the text then make a new text layer and add the rest of the text and have something like this.

Now time add some effects to the text.

Go to Blending Options and add the following.

Drop Shadow
