TYPOGRAPHY -FACE -assignment 2

TYPOGRAPHY OF '' ALEXANDRA STAN'' 

Just a brief about her , shes a singer and a model.  she sings romanian music. and got famous for her hit track '' mr.saxobeat '' followed by get back ASAP, one in a million and lemonade. 

so as i decided to pick her as my typography face i chose to write a few lines of her songs , aswell as mention these songs in it . 

This is her actual portrait photo that i chose to work with . 

i decided to deal with negative space . so i chose to do the interesting part on these picture as my main concentration. which is her hairstyle.  neck shadow , and her dress.

and the method i applied is using pen tool and warping . 

i have some of the screen shots of my work above.

just to show the processes and progress.

 basically you first make a copy of the background and then command and backspace to make a layer with a colour filled in , could be white , black or bray. i picked black. 

you can then move the layer beneath the background copy . and my a new layer and click on the pen tool draw the area where you want to type the fonts. thereafter rasterize the layer and command T to free transform , resize it then right click pick warp and create curves wherever necessary. 

 and continue until your done .

after that since we don't wish to have 100s of text layers , just merge them all by selecting all the layers and right click.  therefore you will have one background layer , fill , background copy and text layers. you can then press ALT and move the layer in between the two . and you will have a final product.

this is my masterpiece 

X3 waterfall- scenery - beauty ! - week 10

                                                              X3 WATERFALL

                                                                 BEFORE 

AFTER 

This beautiful waterfall scenery caught my eye and couldnt stop myself from using it for one of my work. 

so its very clear, as you see in the first picture where theres only one waterfall. so i decided to utilize the  area around it and create the same waterfall but having the effect of 3 waterfalls . 

 i used the cloning tool here, also free transform for resizing. 

 firstly i chose the area i want to be cloned by holding down the option key on mac (alt on pc)  and started cloning in into an area. after doing so, i cloned out the areas in didnt require and hence came up with the beautiful X3 WATERFALL :) 

create your own scenery ! i just did. 

SELFIE - tracing , blending mode ! week-9

SELFIE

I must say , i enjoyed my cartoonistic portrait! truly an awesome feeling . 

So i used the very common tracing method with several layers and adding some of the facial features like moles , darker  eye lashes.  also additional of things like necklace ,  black hand glove with a bracelet and a ring.  different colour top with certain pattern. and also the colours of the hair and lips. 

BEFORE

I  used the pen tool by choosing the path which helped in picking different colours and blending it and coming out with this beautiful lady :p 

                                                                       AFTER  :)

enjoy!

black and white Dalmatians - week8

so for my today's post im going to just use the displacement method, blending mode and masking .

basically i took a portrait of myself and decide to dalmatianized myself ! 

so here's what you do , choose the portrait and displace it  by saving it to disp file. then open the original photo and copy paste the texture on it. rescale it and click on filter and go to distort and hit displace you will have a folder that has your displacement file select it and you will see the difference. dont forget to blend in by multiply or screen whichever suits the best! 

TypoGRAPHY ART : TEXT AND WARPING - WEEK 7

TEXT AND WARPING.

Ill share how to insert text and warp it accordingly on any picture .

 basically you will be given some portrait with text  , simply use the pen tool to  type out the words on the line after doing so right click one the text layer and rasterize it.  after doing so press command T and   right click to warp it in order to give the curves . 

and continue the same throughout and  hence you will have something like this. 

YOU MAN SNAKE! (TEXTURE AND DISPLACEMENT ) WEEK6

SO TODAY WE HAVE SOMETHING QUITE INTERESTING !! 

I learnt some new tricks on how to change different skin and have an original feeling to it. 

basically we start with this portrait below. 

and the snake pattern underneath.

 i will share some tricks from what i learnt during this session.

so the trick is , open the image you want to use and save it as a displacement file , simply by changing the name and adding disp. and when you are done.  this is a black and white image which helps in shifting black and white colors accordingly. 

then select the snake picture and copy it to the portrait image . scale it accordingly then blend it by hitting multiply to have the best effect. when your done doing so , go to filter and select distort and pick on the displacement and hence it will adjust according to the curves of the face.  and simply and like always if you want to get rid of something just  do the masking and erase the unwanted part , you can always lower or higher the opacity as well .

 creativity shall never leave my side, so i decided to change the colour of the eyes and give a whitish glowing eyes .  simply press on command U and the hue bar appears and you can have your eye colour changed . 

hence, you man snake! 

i wont make this long , as the steps are the same .  from what i learnt the principle stays the same the only thing changes is the pictures that you use. for instance the second example the flag can be pasted on the silk material in the same way .

there you go ! and you can also change the sizes by free transform . 

CARTOONISTA and TEXTURE !!! - week5

THINKING HOW TO ''CARTOONIFY'' YOURSELF ?
PHOTOSHOP MAKES IT ALL POSSIBLE !!!!

 See this picture . . . . . .

TADAAA! yes you can create it too.. 

This will help  in tracing out pictures. 

simply make  a new layer , and select a pen tool.  and start tracing out the curves and lines on the photo.  

things to note:  while using the pen tool select the path which will help in adding the colour as per desired. also that you can change the opacity to lighten or darker the area.  or even to draw more accurately.  this can also be done by using a tablet (bamboo or intuous or any other)  or even simply a mouse)

you can continue doing this till you complete the whole portrait.  you can also add effects like weird looking hair , different shirt pattern , extra features like a mole on the face . 

after doing so , we can create a background. again it can be any color any pattern.

i chose this black , red and white .

its easy , just create a new one with around 1200 pixels by 1200.  and you have your blank document and use the selection tool just to make an equal selection choose the width and height of a certain pixel to have a uniform selection throughout . and pick a colour of your choice and complete it .

after doing so go to filter select polar cordinate ! yes and you will have your back ground! 

TEXTURE 

this was fun , i had total fun making this texture i know it makes no sense but it was fun! 

 yes thats my texture!  some body cell nuclear something something with glass pieces ! i can go on. . . .

anyway , this is very simple. . .

just go to file hit new and set a smaller image size. 

pick your colour and click on filter and pick render you get a certain effect after doing so click on filter again and choose filter gallery and create more effects of your choice and come up with awesome texture and have fun!!
