I did this class because it had so many elements that don't interest me at all. You know what that means, I really need more exposure to them! I like halftones and gradients on other's work.  I just don't care for them on mine. Fantastic lesson Helen. Thanks so much. I added a extra blend mode step and also multiplied another layer underneath to get this halftones gone awry effect on the first graphic. The hearts came out interesting to me.
