This week's assignment was a discussion on contemporary text.

We had to discuss how graphic design applications like Photoshop and Illustrator have emboldened and empowered what you can do with type. The class was directed to look online for a tutorial on how to do something fun with type, take the tutorial and then share the instructions and our results with the class. I decided to duplicate the "Elegant Glossy Gold Text Effect". The instructions will be found here: http://textuts.com/elegant-glossy-gold-text-effect/. I have attached the original from the site and my rendition. I had a few issues with my rendition, i.e. I didn't get the shiny effect, and I was unable to execute step 7 which may be why it's not shiny. I'm going to have to revisit this project. I had to stop so that I could work on my other assignments. I have also solicited help from my classmates.
