Beautify your name/logo with landscape background
I came across the ‘artwork’ of Nip/Tuck season 4. I don’t watch the show at all but the design I saw on a commercial caught my eye. You can also do this in Photoshop, but here’s how to glamorize your name or logo with a cool scenic background with Fireworks.
1. First find the a good landscape photo, preferably with the horizon across the middle. I found this in some free stock photography website.
2. Draw a rectangle with vertical linear gradient and set the colors #000099 on top and #ff9900 on the bottom.
Set that to overlay.
3. Next, draw two ellipses the approximate width of the image itself and a third of its height. Make the top one yellow and the bottom white. Set both to overlay.
This will generate somewhat of a sunrise effect.
4. Type your name! I use Free Sans, radial fill (white center grey edge), drop shadow (0 distance, 3 softness 98% opacity).
Voila! You have pretty artwork with your name on it. You don’t have to follow these exact specifications but you get the point. Optionally, you can put a dark rectangle gradient to make the top part of the sky darker. To see it, download the master file.

Adobe Photoshop is simply the best photo editing tool on the market. I often use it a lot on my photo studio and also in webpage design .
