What Effects?

What effects do you use when your making a graphic?

I use mainly the gradient effect. All of my designs always have a gradient added to it, even if it's just the slightest.

I love using textures, gradient maps, or just filling in a layer on top of everything with one color and setting it to soft light at 50% opacity.

I almost always add text, adding a gradient, glow, and a stroke at 1px to it.

I usually use gradient effect :)

I use so many different tools, effects and layers that it would take me far too long to make a list!

Everything I make is glossy, gradient-ish and.. color-ish. XD

Well, I tend to use bevel; shadows; gradients and glows. Basically, I'm prepared to use ANYTHING and EVERYTHING just as long as it looks good. :)

Generally I just mess around with blending and gradient options, with the occasional C4D render.

I don't have any kind of effect that I always use. I just mess around with random effects.
