basic photoshop techniques

in my contemporary media class. we were introduced into the basic photoshop techniques that we used to create the photo below.

Photoshop Logo Project

For my third contemporary media,we created a personalized logo using adobe photoshop.



The logo process involved the following steps:
The first step is to set the resolution in the setting to 72.
The second step is to change the background color to your choose of color: I chose purple.
The third step is to create a new layer and type your name onto that layer.
The fourth step is to change the color of the text to pop on what background color you chose.
The fifth step is creating a layer in between the text layer and the background creating a middle layer for you to draw on using a brush.
The sixth layer you need to select the brush tool and chose a brush style you like and a color to go with it
The seventh and final step is to create something on the middle layer that you like

In conclusion, I think it's really cool to learn how to create logos in this class. This class is going to teach use valuable skills that we will be able to use in this internet age. Thing that seem easy can actually be very difficult.
