Nameplates

  This is my basic nameplate. I made a square for the background and i gave it the texture of an oil slick with a transparency effect of grain. For the text it is in elephant font with the fill of a gradient cone with the White, Black color preset. I then scaled the text to fit the canvas and centered and aligned it. Then I put a filter on the text. The filter was an outer glow. I made it a neon green color.

 

I made this mid-level nameplate using Adobe Fireworks CS3. It has a length of 300 pixels and a height of 200 pixels. Its resolution is 200. I made it by making a basic rectangle with the Rectangle Tool. I customized the rectangle by changing its Fill to a Gradient. I chose the Gradient effect called Contour. The preset colors for the Gradients Black, White. Then added a text box to put in my name with the Text Tool. The text font size of my name is 110.13. Then I rotated the text to a different angle.

 

          This is my professional nameplate. i made it by giving it a background of a gradient linear with the preset colors called copper. The text of my name was just an elephant font. Then I made the fill of the text a gradient called bars with the preset colors Black,White. Then I scaled the text to an appropiate size for the canvas and used the skew tool to make the text look as if it is at an angle.
