-I would have spent more time trying to make it a better quality picture. I would have added more small lines inside the letters to make it more colorful.

What have you improved on by doing this assignment? (5 points)
-I have gotten better at using and understanding the functions of the pen tool, making and filling paths and overall usage of the filter effects.

If you were to offer a future student advice about this assignment, what would it be? (5 points)
-Don't be lazy and spend more time on all of the details and try to make as many different layers and colors as possible without making it too crowded. As well try not to change the colors so drastically in each letter as it will look more choppy. make sure to use the shadow under each layer to make it look more smooth.
Do you have any suggestions for me the teacher if I assign this assignment again? (5 points)
-maybe try to explain it a little more because at first i had trouble with using the paths and was clueless as to what i was trying to do.

Final

I used a downloadable text from dafont.com and a text effect found on the internet. the background consists of a photo found on google which is in the top left corner. I used lighting effects in the middle of the background and a lens flare in the bottom right corner
