I said that this year I was going to learn a lot more about how to use the software that is available to us... and on Thursday, Fred showed me an aspect of photoshop that I hadn't used before. Playing around with layer properties and the different things that you could do with over-laying them.
I decided to use the typeface I had just manipulated to experiment with this. I must say that these are not designs that I am going to use... just experiments to see how it works and how I could incorporate it into my practice. I decided to play on the nautical theme and use sea imagery taken from the internet.
Simply adding a photograph behind the type.
Adding different layer effects.
Adding a white layer... and one with a pale blue circle and playing around with the orders of the layers gave me this result.
I then added another photograph of waves and played with the transparency. I think it has worked rather well.
The layer palette.
I have enjoyed doing this and feel that I could really use this with this brief.
