1. Please describe your preferred method of creating text and the layer effects to make it stand out.
I like using the text tool attached to a path. As far as layer effects I like drop shadow and inner glow.
2. In which way did you like the results from using clipping masks for text and shapes? Do you think you will use them in future projects? Why or why not?
I really liked the clipping mask feature and will use it later to create dynamic text quickly and easily.
3. What was your experience using the pen tool to create selections? Were you able to modify your selection with the path adjustment tools?
I had great experience with the pen tool, except for a couple of times the text tool wouldn’t snap to the path, and make this weird shape until I made sure paths were selected on the menu.
4. What challenges did you experience using the shape tools? Did you create a custom shape? What was it?
I found the shape tool to be an amazingly awesome way to select complex rounded areas. I found myself “ctrl+z-ing” quite a lot in the beginning, but after I got used to the tool I loved it. I made an abstract background the and gave it an outer-glow.
5. How will you use Smart Objects in future projects?
Mainly for filters,
6. What keyboard shortcuts are you using regularly now?
Ctrl+t is the most used shortcut. But I often use the tool shortcuts, along with holding down the shift key to cycle through the sub menus.
