3.NYC edited: increased saturation; color overlay of light yellow, reduced opacity; picture overlay of cabs on the street, reduced opacity; added text and changed layer blend mode to “color burn”; finished with black brush tool on layer mask over text to make splotchy effect
The two pictures I used in this piece were both taken a couple years ago in New York City. It was fun to finally do something cool with some of the pictures I took from that trip. I enjoyed trying a couple different things with my text in this picture, but this way was my favorite of all the little text effects that I tried.
Great job blending the image. The only critique I would have for you is maybe to make the text a little bigger. It's not very noticeable the way it is. Did you take the pictures yourself?
ReplyDeleteWow, this one blows me away. Looking at my font one, you could tell I pretty much just did a tutorial. Your's looks pro, it looks like a real advertizment. I'd maybe try and see how mixing your first photo looks with other photos. You might be able to find a better picture than the second one you used.
ReplyDeleteI love this. I never would have thought of putting the two pictures together but it looks great. I like the text you used and where it is placed. The only suggestion I could even think of is to zoom in one one of the taxi cabs in the second shot and then blend them. It may give it a simpler look and less for the eye to compete with.
ReplyDeleteI love New York City, it is suck a neat place. Both shots were very good and I think they captured the spirit of New York well. I would have liked to see the street scene a little more in the final image though because at first glance i couldn't tell what it was. Other than that I really liked it, I would have never thought of combining those images.
