Here is an example of how you can use this effect in CAC
(this example combines the shadow and reflective effects together)

 

This is a perfect graphic to do this effect on because of the sunset and the existing shadow effect in the artwork (graphic from CAC 3.0)

 

Here are the steps to take to get this effect:

1. Create your text and copy and paste it in three times for this effect. Change the colors to match the colors in the artwork

 

2. Click on the MOVE button to bring up the moving and sizing options

3. Choose the text you want to be the reflection - (either light gray, or a light shade to match in the graphic) and rotate the graphic 180 degrees (upside down)

4. Using your right click options, choose FLIP - HORIZONTAL

5. Move the reflection text right under the main text (making sure the shadow text is in the back) To move the text shadow to the back, right click, choose

ORDER - MOVE TO BACK

6. Then move the shadow effect text just behind the main text and group all three colors of text together.

7. Then just move your grouped text up on the graphic for the final touch!
