Hi, I'm Gary for Expert Village. Let's apply another effect to the background image. And
what we're going to do is we're going to make this, the texture that we created with the
paintbrush, we're going to turn it into more of a--what's called a "clouds" effect. So
the way to do that is to go up top and click on filter, and then we go over to our render
option, and that opens up a drop-down menu, and we click on clouds. And now we see that
the image took the background color, and it combined it with the texture of our paintbrush,
where we see there are some darker spots over here, and lighter spots over here, and it
basically combined it and created this "clouds" effect. And that's basically going to be now
the background of our business card. And we can also see that if you don't like this particular
effect--now, my final business card is going to be for a wedding type of video production,
so I wanted more of a soft effect, because I'm going to be using a picture from a wedding.
But if you wanted to get a little bit more of a, let's say more of a something that kind
of more action, or a little bit more exciting, there is a whole bunch of effects over here
that you can use, and all of these effects will basically give you, just totally different--a
different look to your business card, and maybe kind of like, highlight the personality
of your business card that you want to create from it, so it's very important to use these
filters to really create the look that you want, and the image that you want when people
see your business card. Here for example, in textures, just this menu alone has so many
different options, like stained glass. And we see that it's going to create, like a stained
glass effect, with like a lighter type of color coming through, and there's just really
a whole bunch of different types of effects that you can use here, and it really creates--depending
on what type of business that you're trying to represent--it really can help you create
a really nice image on your business card.
