In order to create my
name logo, a large amount of time was spent experimenting with the many options of Paint
Shop Pro 5. This logo was formed by constructing three layers: one of text, one of
pictures, and another of background designs. Using the Braggadocio font to write my
name, I then changed the size to forty-eight, made the letters bold, and underlined
it. Once I had text to work with, the opacity of the letters was increased, and the
blur decreased, so to create the shadowed look. Also, two shadows were created behind the
word, one blue, one white, by using the drop shadow tool twice. Underneath the text
layer is the layer of pictures. I selected black ink hands and feet merely because
they were eye-catching. These pictures were strategically placed on the layer using
the picture tube tool. Finally, the extreme bottom section of the logo is the
background layer, for which I chose the colors: blue, purple, and magenta. The texture of
the background was created using the spray can tool and spraying onto a lunar textured
paper. This program has taught me that there are many ways to dress up plain text,
and all it takes is a little imagination.
