    uniE621 3D texts
    Type out 3D and hit escape key to de-activate the text tool. Hold down Command or Ctrl key and click on the background layer. This will allow to select both the text and the background layers.
    uniE621 Reflection
    I create a new Layer above the reflection, sample a color from the water, and then use the Brush Tool to completely paint over the reflection. Right-click on the paint layer and select Create Clipping Mask. This will make the painted areas only appear over the reflected subject. Then change the Blending Mode of the paint layer to Color and adjust the Opacity until think it looks realistic.
    uniE621 Broadway Poster
    The benefits of only using Photoshop for poster design, I did only be working in one application instead of navigating through multiple applications. To create type along a path, make sure that there is no shape layer selected. Choose a shape like the ellipse from the tool panel.
    uniE621 Words Cloud Collage
    I used to customize font, theme, color, orientation and the shape. I did create variations and see them as thumbnails and pick the one I like the most and continue working on it. It not only allows me to use the pre-loaded fonts, but also allows to use fonts from Da Font, Font Space and Font Squirrel. I also get a shaped word cloud using the few pre-loaded shapes.
    uniE621 Collage and Abstraction
    These images differ in resolution or pixels per inch, display at an unexpected size in the collage image. So, I use the steps below on transforming layers to resize the images appropriately.
