Interlacing objects

I made two circles overlap each other. It took me probably 15 minutes and I finished it fairly easily. When you add a inner bevel it makes them look very cool. When you group as a mask with a bevel the new part tries to have its own bevel. So you have to flatten the object so the bevel goes together and looks neat.

3D Text

Rubber Stamp Tool

This is a tool to help you get rid of something unwanted in between a pattern. It took me a while but overall it was fairly simple. You have to make sure you watch where the cross-hair is because that is where its copying. Its difficult to make sure that the pattern stays the same throughout it.

How to make a cool banner and texts

This was fairly easy you just have to know how to adjust where the items are in the layers so they are appropriately aligned. I made a banner using my name, initials, and nickname.

Polygon Lasso tool

I cut out Yao Mings face and replaced it with a young Nathen Foth, then i grouped them and put it in a party scene and blurred the background. It is difficult to just blur the background without your object but the tutorial shows you how. The polygon lasso tool is very simple though and efficient.
