Assignment #11

I used Adobe Photoshop CS5. I saved it as a .JPG and .PSD. In total i had 12 layers to make this flyer. I used the Gradient tool for the background. I used 3 different effects: glass effect, plastic effect and the 'crazy' text effect. I used the glass effect on the picture, the plastic effect on my name and the 'crazy' text effect i used only halfway for the title of the club. To make the effect on the title, in the 1st layer go to Blending options and select stroke. Copy the layer. In the copied layer choose the stroke. Press CTRL and right click on the 'fx' button on the layer and choose 'Create Layer'. Do the same for the other layer. And that's how i got my effect on the title.
