Part 1 focuses on typing the words and using the base and convex fonts included with LHF Big Dog.





Part 2 focuses on changing the colors and why using Hue/Saturation is preferable to painting or filling.





Part 3 shows you how to use the Dodge and Burn tools to create varying shades of color on the letters.





In part 4 we add a custom background along with a black outline and highlights on the letters.





In part 5 we add the "hotspots" on the highlights and a red glow line around our black outline.





In this final part we add the subcopy and perform a couple of fixes.
