Background Information:
- .For this week assignment it was our choice as long as we worked with type, blend modes!, masks, and charge up an image!
- By know you should know that I eat, drink, sleep soccer and Real Salt Lake is greatest team to ever exist!!
- I wanted to paint someone face with the Real Salk Lake logo. Also, I wanted to add some type of the Famous Real Salt Lake anthem "Believe", The Believe anthem is sung at the beginning of each home game and chanted after a goal is scored. Here is a link to this beautiful song :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pa1DJ008t9Y
- Converted Photo into a smart object
- Converted Real Salt Lake Logo in a smart object
- After Converting the Photo into a smart object I made photo into a duplicate layer
- Then used a filter/gaussian blur and made it 19 pixels to blur the photo image.
- Made an adjustment layer to remove all the color in the in image.
- Used a quick selection tool to select the face then used "select and mask" tool and adapted the edges with refine edge. Then I outputted it as a layer mask.
- I made another layer with "Black White"
- To se the color of the eyes since everything is black and white I used the brush picker to make the eyes come through the mask.
- I brought the Real Salt Lake logo in the image. I used a filter to distort and pinch the logo to it would mold to the face.
- Used a color burn from the blend modes on the logo.
- Used filter to distort and then displace to bring in the displacement file that I created at the beginning.
- Next I used vibrance and same layer mask to keep the logo only on the face and reveal the eyes.
- I used a Sans Serif font and applied some of the typography lessons that I learned this week. I wanted the type to look modern that I why I used San Serif and those that are familiar with the "Believe" anthem from Real Salt Lake and see that I think of the anthem and those that may not know that anthem may look at the font and think that if we all believe as soccer supporters we can do anything. I put both different font s up because I was not sure which I liked more.
- I got the image of the man through adobe stock images (free month subscription)
- I got the RSL Logo though this website: http://logos.wikia.com/wiki/File:Real_Salt_Lake_logo_(RSL_crest).png
- I learned how to create this image through this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7d0yeMDhoM
