I explored different types of typography to experiment with for MY POSTER so I decided to experiment with a few. But HERE are some more I looked into.
NEGATIVE SPACE
I used a flower image from google to create my negative space typography
STEP 1
I placed the grass image from google onto Photoshop as a background and locked this layer so I could not move it.
STEP 2
I then placed the flower image into Photoshop and deleted the background from it, I resized it to make it smaller and placed this on top of the grass image. I duplicated this flower multple times and moved them around to first create the outline of the B and then the middle.
This allowed me to create the B shape within the flowers.
STENCIL
I started off with a basic leaf image that I found on google for this typographic style.
I placed this into Photoshop and rotated it so it was straight, I placed the letter B into the middle of the leaf.
The following steps show how I hightlight and delete the text from the leaf
STEP 1
I selected the layer of text so the outline of the B was highlighted.
STEP 2
I then clicked on the leaf layer and clicked delete, this would in turn delete the selected B text from the leaf leaving a ‘hole’ where the B was, like a stencil.
STEP 3
Below shows how I used the Wacom tablet and pen tool to draw different shapes over the leaf, my aim would be to delete these sections of the leaf as I did with the B.
STEP 4
After drawing out these shapes I held shift and the CMD key and selected each shape, this is shown in the first two screen shots.
I then went onto the ‘PATHS’ tab on Photoshop which selected what I had highlighted.
STEP 5
As before, I had to select the leaf layer and click delete which first got rid of the blue selection and left faint lines and then again which completely deleted them leaving a stencil like effect.
THIRD TYPOGRAPHY EXPERIMENT
As shown in our PARK VISIT 2 we created the alphabet using shrubbery and other items we found in the park.
