step 1

Create a new document, 300 x 300 pixels with black background.

Select the "Horizontal Type Tool" or press "T".

Select Arial Bold font, white color, 200 pt., and type a "G"

step 2

Go to "Layer > Rasterize > Type". Now our "G" is no longer a text and we can work with it freely.

Next step, "Edit > Trasnform > Perspective". Hold "Shift" and move the left bottom control point to left as I did.

Press "Enter" to apply the changes.

step 3

Select the "Magic Wand Tool" and then press over the "G" to select it.

Next to do is to choose "Select > Feather" or press "Ctrl + Alt + D".

Set the Feather Radius to 5.

Delete the selection and you'll end up with this image.

step 4

Press "Ctrl + J" to duplicate current layer.

Press "V" to select the "Move Tool". Holding "Shift" press the down arrow keyboard once.

step 5

On the "Layers Palette" drag the "G copy" layer under the "G" layer.

Go to "G" layer, pick the "Magic Wand Tool" and select the "G" outer part.

Press "Shift + I" to invert selection. Go to "G copy" layer and press "delete" key

Press "Ctrl + D" to deselect.
