Wet Ink Typography-Drown the Ocean



I made these images using the same tutorial as my previous post. I experimented with some of the newer Photoshop features, including the Image>Adjustments>Variations option and the new Iris Blur option. The first image has an Iris Blur applied to the text, the second image has a Field Blur applied to the text, the third image has no special features applied, the fourth image has the text blend mode set to Overlay and duplicated, and the fifth image has the same text effect as the fourth , as well as additional brush splatters in the background.

Wet Ink Typography-Seize the Night

I made this image using mainly this tutorial, but I also incorporated some elements of the Inked Typography tutorial from one of my previous posts. I like the effect that the water/ink drops and coffee cup stains produce, and  the effect of the rendered clouds make it look more aged. I think some of the letters might be too cluttered, but I've been staring at these words too long and I honestly can't tell. I decided to use the text "Seize the Night" because our band's theme for this year's marching show was "Carpe Noctem" ("seize the night" in Latin).

Design Text Only

This is the graphic design version of the animation image I made last time. I like this one too, but I couldn't quite get the space between the letters to behave as I wanted.

Animation Text Only

Using this tutorial, I made a simple image in Photoshop using only the word "Animation." I am personally fond of this style, and I like the simplicity of the tutorial and the ease of adaptation. I had to make relatively few modifications to the overall design to accommodate my new text.

Inked Typographical Style

I created this image using this tutorial. The first image is cropped, the second is a more washed-out version of my original, and the last one is the original full-size image. The tutorial was fairly easy to follow, and easy to personalize as well. I'm not entirely happy with the placement of the fingerprints on the paper, but that is an easily adjustable issue.

Graphic Design Flyer

This is a version of a picture for graphic design. I used the same Dark Knight tutorial as previously, but I reversed some of the steps and used some blood splatter brushes to texture the letters. I also reordered the layers to lighten the background. in the second version.

Animation Flyer



These are my versions of a glowing text picture for animation. I used the same tutorial as previously, with some obvious modifications in execution. I also took measures to reduce the file size for clarity's sake.
