VARIATION ON PROJECT 1

Part of experimenting took me down the typographical route with project 1; same book, different approach. This example is more whimsical, airy fairy. (Reflecting the style of writing.)

STEP 1

Choose a stock picture of clouds. (I think this was one of my own.) Upload it to Picmonkey and run it through their ‘Orton’ and ‘Cross Process’ effects to produce a magical creamy blue and white effect.

STEP 2

Mask and crop to size the part of sky that will look best. Save and download to ACDSee. Set the type as in Project 1 and add ‘Outline’ to the text.

STEP 3

For the engraving look, open in Special Effects to ‘Colored Edges’ Choose: Black.
