Jeff Ashmore-Mid term Banner

The first step in my banner was to re-size the
image at 750 by 115 pixels. Next I used the
shadows/highlights tool to change the highlight. I used the text tool to get my text and set the format at Blackoak std., 24 pt. sizing, and used the warp text tool. The warp text tool is cool. I set the text to fisheye, and the bend at 35%. Then I went to styles and added chromed satin text. I found the Layer Style tool, and put a drop shadow on it an inner shadow, satin, gradient overlay, set the blending at normal with 100% opacity, which really brought out the title. One layer I used was for gradient map, but I ended up turning that layer off because I liked the mountain color better than the darker scheme from the gradient map. I will be doing a lot more practice with making banner's it was a fun project.
