Figure 42-4

To complete the cafĂŠ sign layout from Figure 42-1, use the Ellipse tool to draw a circle shape behind the text with a fill color of #ceb28d and a 30 px inside stroke in #4f0f0f. Find a stock art picture of a coffee mug, select its shape, press the Refine Edge button to smooth out the selection edges. From the selection, create a new Color Fill Adjustment layer filled with the same color as the text, #4f0f0f. Hide the mug stock art layer and add an Inner Glow style to the mug fill layer with the blending mode set to Multiply and the color set to #4f0f0f. Lastly, add some text (Est. 1923) and a textured wood background layer.
