Creative Typography (Part 1)

I've been starting to use tutorials online to help improve my photoshop skills for when I make my poster. I was really interested in layering photo into text, so that's what I learnt to do. Below is what I learnt how to do.

I'm pretty happy with what I learnt how to do. I done four examples. The water and fire examples were very simple and quite easy. I think it's a nice effect, especially the water one.

I wanted to try something that was recognizable. I decided to do The Walking Dead, as it's a very popular show and you can be quite imaginative with the typography. For the first one, I decided on a simple cover, with the show's recognizable zombies.

For the second Walking Dead one, I tried to be more unique. The recent season six finale was a crucial part of the story, and one of the most memorable from the comics. It ended on a cliff hanger where you didn't know who died. I decided to have the four main characters who people were thought going to die in the text. Rick, the leader, Glenn the fan favorite, Abraham the most likely candidate, and Maggie, the wife of Glenn.

I think the typography is quite effective and I really like it. It's not perfect, but I did get it done in around ten minutes. Overall, I'm quite happy with I've learnt.

Reflective Comment:
I'm very happy with I've learnt, and I feel that I'm becoming more experienced with Photoshop as a whole. Over the next few weeks I'm going to try do more of these, learning more skills as I go along. If I do enough of this, when it comes to making my actual poster, I'll have enough experience to make a professional looking poster.
