"Nothing special, only used bevel and drop shadow on text and brush."
If it's all presets, there's not much advice I can give. Except, using bevel, drop shadow etc is pretty bog standard and something anyone can do. Some people (ElseAndrew) can do fabulous stuff with these settings, but applying them on the fly doesn't earn you points - or credit a personal style.
Try developing a taste for other -non preset- effects.

A lot of people like the burn/dodge tool and hardly ever use bevels. I use bevels all the time - I just hide it. The thing with bevels is they have a habit of isolating the foreground, which oftentimes cane can be undesirable. Combining as little as 2 effects can make a major difference. How many effects can you see here?

Alright, no need to point hypocritical fingers. Xuzi, why don't you take on board what we've said - recreate the image, and then post it back here and we'll continue to give pointers

Technically, this is not very difficult and probably extremely easy. A tip for you (As you asked for one). I tend to use a lot of soft large white brushes in my work, All you need to do is make a new layer in PS (I assume you use this) and then with your new layer selected, click the thumbnail of the wording. Then, you simply brush highlights onto the new layer to bring it out a bit. Dark greys work well too

Well, clicking the thumbnail loads the selection, which makes it a whole bunch easier. Yes.

Great designs in PS do not involve making the story short. The best pieces I've seen claim 20 hours or so of work. If you have patience to learn, you will. There's a tip.
