Ok- I was wondering what everyone thought of this graphic I made? It's just for fun...

May I ask how you did the double outline?

Do you use a filter for this or do you create multiple text layers?

Or use stroke 2 times?

I like the text but am a little confused why you have that background and what it is...It looks pretty good though.

Ok- well how did you like the image?!? Here is how I made it:

1) Used the Verdana font and selected it.
2) Created a new layer and expanded the selection of the text by two points all the way around.
3) Put the blue on the new layer, and put it behind the text.
4) Did the same thing for the grey layer.
5) Added the picture of the Cactus (just thought it looked cool) and pixelized it.

So now that you know how I made it, do you like it?

I think I have been working at graphics too much lately, when I looked, that is how I figured you did it, almost in the same order, and I knew they were cacti. Ack!

I like it, it is very much in the style of extreme sports gear.

Not bad at all... the image is a little big, but you already know that... The color scheme is good, and you make what needs to stand out (your name) stand out through the orange.
