Activity 1: Shadows and Glows on Text

For this activity, you must demonstrate the effective use of Shadows and Glows. You will do this by creating a collage of the names of the courses you are taking this year.

Use the following criteria:

  1. Create a canvas size of W: 500 by H: 500, and a canvas colour of white, so that your teacher can easily see that you have demonstrated the concepts.
  2. You must have a minimum of 6 textboxes including the following:
    • 2 textbox that shows just a Drop shadow.
    • 2 textbox that shows just an Inner shadow.
    • 2 textbox that shows just a Glow.
  3. Each item on your collage must be a different colour
    • the text and shadow/glow must be contrasting (light and dark) colours.
  4. You must demonstrate the following techniques in your collage:
    • Rotation of textbox
    • Changing font (colour and style)
    • Changing shadow effects (distance, colour, opacity, etc.)
    • Changing glow effects (distance, colour, opacity, etc.)
  5. You will also be marked on the overall appearance of your collage.
