ID Badge

(25 points) Due Friday 9/10/21

 As we start getting to know Photoshop, it is important to master a few basic tools that will help us as we get into bigger projects this year. We will learn how to use; the text tool, different blend tools, quick selection tools, and most importantly, layers. The goal of this project is to create a made up “ID badge” either using a real company, place or a fictional company or place. Whichever way you decide to go, please select something that tells me something about you! Be sure to include the following items in your project.

  • Your first and last name (please use the name you wish to go by. EX: Kristi instead of Kristina)

    • Logos can be found on Google and placed in your document

  • Fake position of your selected place or company
