The tool that I decided to look up was the pen tool. I don't think that we have used it yet in this class, but I am also in a communication class that I am also using photoshop in, and recently we have been using and learning about this tool a lot. It can be a tricky tool when you have to use the alt and shift, but once you get the hang of it, it can be very beneficial. I have used it in my class to cut out objects out of all shapes; but it can be very useful when you want to use the least amount lines- it is very accurate. When cutting around edges and corners it can be useful because you can easily contour the line to be angled around tight edges.
I want to make a personal logo that includes my initials, and maybe some sort of Penn State paw, or incorporate their logo if possible. But I think before you said that a lot of time you can't use a logo because they have rights to it. I'm not sure if the colors have to correlate with the colors of our eportfolio, if so I don't know what colors would be appropriate to go with the light pink or purple that I have decided on. I want to try to make something that stands out. If I can't do something that incorporates Penn State, then I will look maybe into some type of flower, or a unique font and put my initials together!
