I was given a copy at work and to be honest have had a hard time making heads or tails of it. The graphic is simply a text that appears to be outlined and have a dropshadow and a transparent background. I can't seem to even get started.

When done, on your right, at the bottom, you will have the layers box, right click on the one that says Understanding... and then select Blending Options Here you can add the Drop shadow by clickin on the bit that says Drop Shadow, and you can alter the settings as you see fit. To add the outline, use the stroke function in the blending options, and then apply a color overlay to get the orange. That's based on PSCS, but should be the same for the other versions.

Then change the angle of the light, and the shape... A little T&E will get you there, once you get the basic font and text on a layer <edit> If that doesn't do it... copy the layer, then change the text color to black... move it behind the first layer and move it around until you get it close. _____________________________ In order to remove a wall you must first remove the Windows® (in reply to Giomanach)
