Tommy Del Greco - Project 7

1.Please Describe your preferred method of creating text and the layer effects to make it stand out.

I like the horizontal type tool, and after this lesson, I'm a big fan of the clipping mask method. To give some text a quick pop, I go with drop shadow.

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?
Clipping masks are awesome and add a lot to titles and other tasks. I can see myself using them quite a bit in the future. the paths with text is also neat. I need more practice.

3. What was your experience using the pen tool to create selections? Were you able to modify your selection with the path adjustment tools?

The pen tool was another interesting way to make selection. I could adjust the path some, but it was a little awkward I need to review the lesson more to get a better feel for it.

4.What challenges did you experience using the shape tools? Did you create a custom shape? What was it?

Options like adding from selection, subtracting from selection, and fill/stroke could get a little confusing. I couple times it wasn't doing what I wanted it.

5.How will you use smart objects in future projects?

I like the implementation with Illustrator. Once I'm better with Illustrator I can see myself using it.

6. What keyboard shortcuts are you using regularly now?

Alt with the move tool, z, and control d.
