Alphabet Text Tutorial Project

     For the fourth marking period in my graphic design 1 class we were given many different options for projects that would get us our required 200 "point total".  My previous fire text tutorial was worth 50 points so I decided to do the alphabet text tutorial project worth 150 points.
     In this project I was assigned to gather 26 different photoshop text tutorials off of the internet.  I would use one tutorial for each letter of the alphabet.  This project was very challenging.  It was time consuming because some tutorials were tricky and lengthy.  These tutorials were challenging at first because they required the use of some aspects of Photoshop that I have hardly worked with before.  These aspects included outer glow, inner glow, bevel and emboss, drop shadow, perspective tools and the use of multiple layers to create 3D effects.  The good thing about this project was that most of the tutorials were very similar.  So once I got the hang of it and I was around half way done I was well prepared and equipped for other similar tutorials.
     After creating these 26 4 inch by 4 inch Photoshop text tutorials, I then transferred them into a larger Adobe Illustrator file to make my poster.  The image to the left is the final result and I think it came out well.
