This first design,"Beachy", was created in photoshop. It was a textciting assignment that used text masking. It shows how contrasting colors in one picture can help emphasize different parts of the picture. A couple different techniques were used to create the font and pull the exact color from the sand part of the pictures and use it in the font.

The "America" design was a text enhancement exercise. It combinded layering, with adding filters to complete the design of this text. It has an original design that is physically attractive. This text would be a good design for a poster, website, or even just the banner on a flyer. It is still simple, but adds an edge to the text.

This last design, "Kate", is an example of outlining text with shadows. Layering colors, adding a "clear double black stroke" and using a drop shadow in photoshop are the main things that were used in this design. This text is simple, clear, and original. It could be useful on any type of advertisement becuase the font is large.
