11: Flier

Today I created a flier for a club using 3 out of the 4 fonts we learned about. I first created a gradient background using linear gradient then stars in the background using diamond gradient. Then I typed out the WHO, WHAT, WHY, AND WHERE. I applied a photofilled text affect to the WHAT. I made the photo in the text stars. Then I applied a glass text effect to the WHY by using the blending options and lowering the opacity. The glass effect gives the text a see through, blurry effect. Then I put a crazy text effect on the WHEN and the WHY by using strokes, blending options and other effects. I also added a sun in the back with a space ship on top of it to go with the theme of astronomy.
