The project was to create a picture made of "1000 words" but I thought I should also pick a picture that was WORTH 1000 words. There is no need to read the words to know that the girl in this picture (me) is clearly a little weird (and not afraid to show it).
Through this project I learned to make text based brushes and also how to change the properties of the brush (such as increasing the scatter). I also learned how to only take certain shades out of a picture (such as taking only the shadows or the midtones). My biggest challenge in this project as managing the layers and getting the words to look cool and stand out without the picture becoming fragmented to the point that you couldn't make out the face anymore. I made two different versions of the picture, one with a green, custom brush background and one with a solid yellow background. In the yellow version I made the red overlay of the midtone layer less opaque so the face is more defined and easily seen. I thought that more red looked better on the yellow background. |
