old, grunge wood panels used as background

These were two different types of shiny text that I made. I did the design one first then I did my name. I used the same techniques and tools for both of them.  I used the font forte for both of them as well. For this project, I had to use a lot of effects such as pattern overlay (that’s what I used the image of the trees for), Gradient, Outer Glow, Shadow Drop, etc.  I also used a lot of opacity stops which helped me get the color for the text.
