#8.) Create a new layer, title it "Octagon"

#9.) Using the "Shape Tool", draw an Octagon. (HINT--You'll need to change the  

number of sides) Make it red.

#10.) Use the "Text Tool" and write the word STOP in all caps. Make sure the font 

color is white, then use your "Move Tool" to overlay the text on the red 

octagon.

#11.) Create a new layer, title it "Custom-1"

#12.) Using the "Custom Shape Tool", in the "Wild Animals" folder, select the elephant. Draw an Elephant. Make it gray. Give it a 1-pt black stroke, so it has a fine black outline around the gray shape.

#13.) Create a new layer, title it "Custom-Pattern"

#14.) Using the "Custom Shape Tool", go into the "Flowers" folder, select the Rose-Looking flower. Then draw the flower shape. Click on the "Fill" button in the upper-left-corner, then select the 3rd button up-top which is the "Gradient" tool. Under the "Gradient" menu there are folders sorted by color. Please select a gradient design out of the "Red" folder, any one you like.  That pattern you chose will be the pattern to fill the flower.
