Adding Layers

When adding layers to a picture, you can change the effects of the overall image.
In this picture, I added a pink gradient to the picture, then Posterised it, which gave it a gravel tone on the image, and added more hue and Saturation to give it a more bold colour.

Creating my own logo:

At first it started off as a simple piece of text.

I then added the Bevel & Emboss effect to it, which gave it almost a 3D look towards it.

I later then added the Drop Shadow effect, and the texture effect to give it a shadow and a different texture to the actual text.

To change the background I again, addd the Bevel & Emboss effect to kt, which gave it a 3D look, also, an outer glow which highlights the edges of the background, which emphasises the Bevel effect. I also took out the green channel which made the overall colour pink.
