I began by typing the games name: Waters of the Horizon, and coloured it in a sea-blue colour. I then

Increased the “Waters” text size and experimented with placing the remainder of the text in different locations.

I discovered a process in which I could place the “W” on a separate layer from the rest of the text and enlarge it

To make it stand out. I then proceeded to place the remainder of the text below “waters”.

My next experiment was subtly decreasing the opacity of the overall text to allow it to blend with the

ocean more. I then proceeded to experiment with the colour of the “Horizon”. I changed it from blue, to

yellow, to dark yellow to orange. I also disovered a technique in which I duplicated the Horizon text

layer and added a fast blur effect to the layer which created a readable blurry word which I liked.

The adding of the blur inspired a new experiment – glow effects. I applied a glow effect to

the Horizon and experimented with some of the setting you see above. I really liked the

Horizontal and Vertical glow dimensions as it allowed the text to stand out subtley – I

wanted to avoid over extending with effects.
