Photoshop Is Hard.

Re: Photoshop Is Hard.

I'm worried. You made me google "avale" haha. Never heard of it xD. For all of you who don't know it means to decend or dismount.

Don't worry about the actual words, their just the first 10 A - words that I pulled out of my head.

That took me 15 extra seconds to read. When you have to decipher each word, "Alive" doesn't stand out at all. There's such a massive size contrast between the A and the rest of the letters that it throws everything off. It's creative for sure, just could be executed better.

Yea, I was thinking about that as I was typing out the smaller text. You kinda read it as it is without inserting the A. On this one i'm not really trying to make anything pop other than the "alive" which I want to be emphasized when you read it, not necessarily read "alive" first.

There, simple like you said.

This is probably my favourite so far! What Whocares is saying is true though-- colour has a big impact on focal point, beware of that as well hence the eye is drawn to that big contrast in the N.

And there's a couple pixels jetting off on the curves around the connected letters. But yes, so far I like the experimenting you're doing. Keep at it.

It doesn't look that legit, but I tried. it started as a drawing i did in pencil, then took a picture of with my phone. Ended up throwing it on a fence.

Re: Photoshop Is Hard.

quick selection tool + transform + opacity changed
lol

try using different tools and settings. The pen tool for example is great for precicely cutting out graphics and won't cause those ugly white lines if used correctly. Layer blend modes may cause it to look more realistic with the correct blending mode. Just toy around with that. You may have to adjust the image as well to blend it in with the picture using various other settings (ex. photo filter, hue & saturation, color adjustment).

Re: Photoshop Is Hard.

As well, try this: After you have your selection, click the mask tool instead of deleting, then go into the Mask window and click Mask Edge, play around with those tools. It'll do wonders.

Re: Photoshop Is Hard.

Okay here, nothing special to the font. No colors, High foreground/background contrast. What about this?

EDIT: lol I spelled acknowledge really wrong.

EDIT 2: and appraise. But don't worry about those.

EDIT: Nvm, missed the memo on that one. That does look better than what I could ever manage to do.

Re: Photoshop Is Hard.

essentially what everyone else said.
although i would move the 'nathan miller' from the corner to maybe right under the main text, to make the formatting more uniform.
