So I checked out this tutorial Typographic Portrait. It shows you how to take a portrait and have text wrap around the subject (in mine a woman) using some blending tools and the displace tool in Photoshop. Overall the tutorial was good, it heads you in the right direction. However I did notice in the comments people having trouble with following the tutorial so I decided to give it a shot. ` Around Step 5 is when it started to get a little hairy for me, so I ended up carrying out techniques that I already know for Steps 5 - Step 8, to complete the final photo. ` I plan to do a video tutorial on it hopefully today and get that posted, and that way you all can try completing this project again. ` What I like about this, is notice how the text only appears her skin, not in her hair or on her dress. This gets accomplished by the displacement tool as well as changing the blending mode of the layers. ` Something else that would be fun, would be to go and remove the tattoo from the back of her neck, so that there is skin all the way down. This would be fun because there are a lot of shadows going on in that area, so I would have to pay close attention to shading and lighting when removing the tatt.
