Exercise: Applying a drop shadow

This was an extension of the previous exercise to show us the technique to apply a drop shadow to the 'Title' from the previous exercise.

Here are some screen grabs of the process:

I really enjoyed these hands on tutorials. I didn't know how to add a drop shadow this way and I can only hope to have more of these along the duration of the course. I will definitely be using these techniques more in the future.
