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!
