Taylor's Basic Nameplate

For this assignment we had to make a nameplate that was at a basic level. I created this name plate by making my canvas 300x200 and the resolution is 200. I stared my making canvas color a dark lime green, then I choose the vector tool and made a rounded rectangle, I took the yellow colored circles that are around the shape when it is clicked on and pulled them in to create the shape.For the background color of my shape I choose a turquoise color then added a gradient affect which was folds, the colors I also added were a burnt orange and dark lime green. Then texture that I applied was oil-slick to the background, next I used the text box from the vector tools to make a box to type m name. The font of my name is Bookman Old Style, the font size is 42 and the color is a dark lime green.The affects that I added was a drop shadow which was the color black.
