Extra Credit Image:
This image started with a white 400x400 72dpi canvas. I used a foreground color of
#B166CC and a background color of #99FFEA throughout the project. I used the 
brush with load variance √. Other
settings I used are: size: 125, step: 50, density: 50, rotation: 0, opacity: 50, blendmode: normal,
& wet look: √. The brush variances were set at: color blend: oscillating fade (jitter=50%),
position jitter: 25%. All other values remained at their default settings. After saving the image
I used candy buzz BTN for a font at size 60px, line: ........, stroke: 2.0, anti-alias: sharp.
Then I applied a drop shadow set at: vertical: 6, horizontal: 6, opacity: 75%, blur: 4, color:
#B166CC. Then I cropped the image to 398x91. Finally I buttonized the whole thing: width: 5,
height: 5, opacity: 75%, color: #B166CC. To export the image I gif optimized it using the following
settings: transparency: none, colors: 256, dithering: 0, optimized octree, non-interlaced, version
89a. The original weight of the images was 108,960 and the compressed weight is 32,841.
