Using Text, Layer Styles, & Online Editors

Today we're practicing using the Text tool to add text (obviously) to an image. We will be using this technique for projects such as the magazine cover, the movie poster, etc.

Next we used Layer Styles to add drop shadows, a stroke, bevel & emboss, etc. Those effects make the text appear much more dynamic, 3-dimensional, and professional.

Finally we worked with some online graphic editors:

1. FotoFlexer (www.fotoflexer.com): A free online graphic editor that will allow you to easily create some PhotoShop-like effects.
2. CoolText (www.cooltext.com): A free title & button creator.
3. FlamingText (www.flamingtext.com): A free title & button creator.
