  1. I can think of a possible improvement on that technique for creating the 3D-ish ribbon – rather than convert the ribbon shape, shadow and clipped shading to a new layer, convert it to a Smart Object instead. That way, you can go back later to change the colour of the ribbon.

  2. You’re absolutely right Alan, Smart Objects are a great way to work. This video is a demonstration of a technique rather than a definitive way to do a particular job though.
