I learned something like this i a high school graphic design course. It's not very hard to do. I just dont feel like typing out the technique on an iPad.

Maybe when I get home

Just need a bunch of layers that are cropped, stroked, and drop shadowed. Then the bottom most layer add a Gaussian blur... done.

What you linked to is a pretty sad example of what can be a much more professional looking edit.

Get a copy of the January/February 2010 edition of Photoshop User magazine and on page 74 there is a great tutorial by Corey Barker for using a gradient, different size and shape boxes, and blend modes of differing opacities for a very classy look.

What application are you using? If it's Photoshop, are you familiar with layers and layer styles?

Here's how you set up your layers. I did only one selection to illustrate. Use the
rectangular marquee to place more selections (Ctrl-J) on new layers. In Layers
Styles, play with the drop shadow sliders to get the kind of shadow you want.

Thank you! will have a go at it
