Name Plate 2

For the font of the text I used the Algerian font and had a blur filter for the text as well.  For my background I used a gradient bar fill along with a piano keys texture.  I made the red stripe by messing with the handles.  I made the shape more rounded by editing the shape's look by  using the yellow knobs around the shape.  I made the fill of the text black, because it makes the letters pop out a bit more.  For the stroke on the outline I used a stroke category of 1 pixel hard and used blue as the color.  The edge for the stroke has a softness of 43.  The tip size is 2, because whenever I get a bigger tip size the name plate looks ugly in my eyes.  I change the stroke of the text to be #009999 for the hex color.
