EXPERIMENTATION WITH PHOTOSHOP

PLACING AN IMAGE INSIDE OF TEXT

This is the example I found for reference which I have tried to recreate on Photoshop. I followed the step by step and managed to create this effect using my own photo and text. This effect is useful for album titles as well as posters and merchandise.

The first step was to get an image of a scenery which I got and was a picture I took at the headland. Then I had to create a new layer which I then could work with but without erasing the background. I then used the color fill to make one of the layer a solid white color because of the text.

I then used the text tool and used in on layer one and typed down headland. Then I adjusted the size and proportion and moved it around the the image till I was happy with it.

This is what the text looked like on the image. The text was in a bold Ariel font as I wanted the image inside the letters. I then moved it around and positioned it at the center of the image.

This was the part which it would make the image fit inside the text by using the clipping mask tool.

This is what happened to the layer I added the clipping mask tool it erased the background image and applied it inside the text.

This was an optional part of the Photoshop tutorial where I added a drop shadow to my title to make it more realistic and make the image look like its coming out of the text.

Final Outcome

BLENDING PHOTOS

This is an example I found which I wanted to do but using my photos. The tutorial was fairly simple as it was basic tools used in this Photoshop tutorial. This effect could be used in album covers and posters.

This was the first image I used as its my main one and focus which I wanted to blend in with subtle image.

This was my second image which I wanted to blend my photo into. This is a scenery image from the headland.

Final Outcome

This is the final outcome which I have done by following the tutorial. I found it it fairly simple as the tutorial was easy to follow.

GHOSTING AN IMAGE

This is the example I have on that Photoshop tutorial. This tutorial mainly focuses on the effect of the image and almost looks blurred and stretch out. This could be used on anything maybe a horror style movie front cover.

This is my image I used for the tutorial I did. I choose this as the effect worked best on a person clos up. The tutorial was a little hard but I eventually managed it.
