Connection Image

I've recently been using Photoshot to create an image that consists of the same style as David Carson. To do this we found a image (of fruit- in my case) and used the following techniques to transform an image such as this:       à






Into one like this:  

 

The process is actually very simple, after importing the image in photoshop you right-click on the layer that contains the photo and click "Duplicate Layer". This is done as if you accidently do something wrong and can not undo, you're able to redo your work...

Next hide the Copied image by clicking the eye on the left of that layer, before  going to Adustments (along the top of the screen) and clicking 'Desaturate'. Now go to Filter and filter menu. Select Stylize and then find edges...

Go back to the Adustments menu and click Brightness and contrast- changing the settings if needed- and ensuring the Use Legacy box is checked thus removing the unececary detail.
Finally use the paintbrush tool to remove more detail if you so wish.

By now your image should look somewhat similar to the second one I showed you.  

Lyrics

I've recently found two sets of lyrics- in my case 'Stronger' and 'Scream & Shout'- both of which relate to my past. Stronger was my faveroute song as a child, and Scream & Shout was playing when I saw my little cousin for the first time...

I then wrote these lyrics in Photoshop and added a effects similar to Neville Brody, by removing parts of the lettering. Next I wrote the strong words in a slightly larger font and added a number of layers- with a range of oppacity- to create a more 3D effect. I then got images of the artists of the song ( Kayne West, Briteny Spears and Will.I.Am) to add effect...

Here is the result:












Although I liked it I felt as though the image still looked very 2D, therefor I changed the oppacity of selected layers and got another image. Then I imported a bullet hole on the "Kill" and make it look as though blood was pouring off of it.

Finnaly I changed the background text to give the text a drop shadow look, with this outcome:

My attempt at recreating Neville Brody's work

Through-out the previous few weeks we've been creating a form of typography. We are trying to recreate Neville Brody's work by using a style similar to his.
The image on the right was my first attempt at recreating his style:
This has been done via using Photoshop and using layers and masks to their full potential.

The reason we have been doing this is as it related to our topic- which is typography. At the moment I've been collecting lyrics of songs and trying to use Neville Brody's unique style to change the text...

This is what it looks like so far (although it's not yet complete):
