The Journey: Somewhat near the end now!





Today we continued to edit our photo, our primary goal in mind: to become rich and famous. Using this link (http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/50-great-photoshop-text-effect-tutorials-part-ii/), I generally just messed around, trying out new effects, seeing which one would fit my idea of an image the best. Thinking about it, I thought of good images that I want my band to show: youth, power, freedom, streets, which I would try and accommodate into a poster.

I also experienced a minor setback today, when I realized that my image was at an inappropriate resolution. Luckily though, having already gone through this process once it was a cakewalk, taking me about 3 minutes and 37 seconds in total, definitely mores smooth than scrambling about this randomly before. In a way, I was glad this has happened; better now when I didn't make a start than 5 hours into the project.

I like to think of my knowledge of photoshop like an imcompleted quilt: perfect in some aspects, patchy in others where even the simplest task, such as resizing a image requires me to find a tutorial.
http://www.myinkblog.com/2008/07/11/create-a-spectacular-graffiti-effect/ is what I'm currently attempting to create, since it fits well with the above ideas and also learning to do something like this would be useful for future projects.
