Subtitles of the Movie

I found the gradient that seems to work nicely, it's called golden sunset. Notice the black stroke that we created in the shape attributes area for shapes got filled along with the interior of the Os so that was not needed. Let's see what happens if we do something similar with the Os in the word cookie. So I'll scroll down to where I can find them, there is one of them and the other, using the option or the alt key, drag a few of those out. And create a little kind of a depth effect by having a size transition happen. Let's just move this over a little bit more, let's have it be a more of a flowing kind of an effect, that's looking pretty good. And if I now do a shift click for those 3 Os plus the original O, second O in word cookie. Let's again apply a fill. As we saw before, we have to group them and then collapse the group, which involves committing them to image layers. So we will use the golden sunset, but maybe this time we will change the angle and now let's apply that fill. Ok, this time the color fill gets lighter as we go away from the original O in the word cookie. Well, that's looking rather pleasing I would say. If we would like to add a drop shadow to all of the items here or perhaps just to the additional Os that we have created, so let's do that. Let's add a drop shadow to this second series of Os by going to objects>create drop shadow, click ok, that's kind of interesting. I wonder if I can, no I can't fade that, I was just thinking that some of these shadows look a little bit too dark. What you can do then, notice now that that original group, actually the collapsed group, has now become a group where the shadow is a member of the group. And so the shadow itself can be selected and we can reduce the opacity of the shadow, I think I like the way that looks. So let's do that with the other group of Os. Let's take that layer 3 (it was), and apply the drop shadow to those items. And this time maybe it's ok that the shadow is a little bit heavier toward the bottom.
