Adding a border

Creating the logo

Now you’ll use the isolated flamingo to create the Casa Luna Wildlife Sanctuary logo. You’ll create a border for the logo, and then mask the part of the flamingo you don’t want to include in the logo.

You’ll create a rectangle and give it some depth with a layer style.

1 Click an empty area of the Timeline panel to deselect all layers.

2 Go to 2:20.

3 Select the Rounded Rectangle tool, hidden behind the Rectangle tool in the Tools panel.

4 Click the word Fill in the Tools panel to open the Fill Options dialog box. Select None, and click OK.

5 Click the word Stroke in the Tools panel to open the Stroke Options dialog box. Select Solid Color, and click OK.

6 Click the Stroke color box, select black, and click OK.

7 In the Tools panel, change the Stroke Width to 10 px.

8 Click the Toggle Transparency Grid button at the bottom of the Compositionpanel, so you’ll be able to see the black border you’re about to draw.

9 In the Composition panel, draw a rounded box around the flamingo’s head, neck, and upper back. Press the Shift key as you draw to create a rounded square. If you need to reposition the shape, use the Selection tool.

10 Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) Shape Layer 1 in the Timeline panel, and then choose Layer Styles > Bevel And Emboss. The default values will work for this project.

The border now appears to have depth.

11 With Shape Layer 1 selected, press Alt+[ (Windows) or Option+[ (Mac OS) to trim the In point of the layer to the current time (2:20).

12 Hide the properties for Shape Layer 1, and save the file.
