Photoshop Skills Used:
- Camera Raw
- Crop Tool
- Flip Image Horizontally +straighten
- Gradient Tool/mask
- Text Tool
- Guide/Grid Layout
Design Thoughts:
- I used Camera Raw to clean up the image and readjust color levels
- I flipped the image horizontally and cropped it to provide a guide for the rest of the design
- Applied a gradient mask (white to transparent) to create contrast between the image and the text
- Text font: Georgia; color navy blue to establish alignment and cohesion with Utah State University
- Proximity + alignment, to establish even spacing around all edges
