We did bling. We used outer glow, inner glow, gradient overlay, pattern overlay, stroke (layer styles). We used gaussian blur (filter blur). ctrl+backspace changes backround color ctrl+t selects text ctrl+j copies layer. Double click layer and unclick all the layer styles. Edit, transform, skew for shadow. Filter, blur, guassian blur. After comparing my bling 2 to my bling 1, I realized that in my bling 1 I forgot to use the gaussian blur and therefore the shadow is very prominent on my bling 2.

Today we learned about Frank Stella and his art. He tends to focus on shapes such as squares and circles. From looking at his art, we noticed that he tends to use monochromatic (same color, different tones) as well as analogous (colors that are next to each other on the color wheel) colors. I also created my own Frank Stella piece using

Today I made a gif. YIPEE. First I made the background layer black. Then I made a new layer and used the marquee tool to make the lower third white. Ctrl+j to make four more layers.
