Exhibit 12 - Styles and Gradients
I heard this saying a couple of days ago and I loved it. So, I decided to make a graphic with it on it. This graphic incorporates several things that I've learned throughout the semester.

Design thought:
- The text is close together and allows for a spot for the star
- Two words are in a different font to make them stand out
- The start off sets the text
- I created a radial gradient using a dark blue and a lighter blue to give the effect of the star lighting the sky going towards the manger
- The Nativity scene is centered so it is the focus of the graphic
Photoshop skills/tools used:
- I applied a style that I had created to the text and to the start
- I transformed and warped the shape of the star to get the desired look
- I created the Nativity scene by using the photo below and selecting the part I wanted to use and then filling it with black
- I used the adjustments to add an adjustment to the layers to brighten up the blue because it was darker than I wanted
