Tools Within Adobe Photoshop

Tools I have learnt while learning Photoshop.

Text tool - I selected the text tool and dragged the box to the size I wanted, I selected the font I wanted and also colored it red, the font I used was Rosewood Standard.

Gradient Overlay- I double clicked the layer my rectangle was on and selected the gradient overlay tool and put the angle of the gradient at -90 degrees.
Rectangle tool- I simply selected the rectangle tool and dragged the box until I liked the size of it.
Anchor Point tool- I used the anchor point tool to make the arks in the rectangle above, it was quite tricky but I managed to finally get it right.
Paint Bucket- I filled all the rectangles/ squares so they would be filled with black.
I found this task quite challenging because i trouble figuring out how to use the anchor point tool and understanding how I use it to my advantage. I am generally happy with my final product because it turned out well and it is original.
