So I was bored at work and I was browsing through random photography classes in Skillshare when I chanced upon this short tutorial by Jamie Bartlet about incorporating your lettering into a photograph via masking.
The result should be like this, where the letters are kindof blending into the scene and not simply stuck there like it would as a normal text. I hope I did it right though, I tried my best!
Here’s a photo of New York skyline with its byline (taken from Unsplash.com). This isn’t perfect and by all means I’m seeing all the sharp edges and fake overlays lol but I enjoyed this one and learned a lot.
If you want to take the same class here’s the link to it: http://skl.sh/2lhCXk0

That’s the promo I’m using right now and I tell you, it’s every well worth it, what with the amount of quality classes facilitated by incredible artists. Sign up now and start learning!
The class is a very straightforward Photoshop tutorial and I was so happy to have finished it in one sitting haha! It’s been a while since my last Skillshare class so you could say I’m pretty pleased!
Jeckie has taught me about masking before but I’ve never really understood what it’s for. I always get confused about that white layer you’re supposed to scratch off or something. This tutorial definitely cleared things up. Highly recommended!
Here are a couple of my other trials,
Hope you enjoyed this post! 🙂
