1: The main text is 'Cezanne' which I think should be in the Common Fonts thread, and the designer probably used a blue outer glow with a softened bevel.
2: You would make the rectangle on a new layer, and go Edit>>Free Transform, and then rotate the rectangle by clicking and dragging, then press enter. You can fade it by erasing it, or using a gradient on a layer mask. For the small pixely text, just use a gradient that goes from white to transparent. What shape are you talking about?
3: I've never seen that brush before..the designer could have made it him/herself. No clue what that main font is. For the colors, it was probably a gradient from blue to purple, and then the images got overlayed or something.
4: The starry sparkle brushes or the square brushes or both?
6: Do you mean the shape of the entire image? You just combine a bunch of shapes and brushes and put them all on one layer and make sure it's the same color.
7: That's an image inside a font. There's a tutorial on that here at CB in the tutorials section, and the designer just used an abstract type image.
8: The font you would do the same way as number 7, and the shape you would do the same way as number 6.

Those are all really similar graphics..haha. But they're pretty good. Who made them?
