The Gazette Posters

From The Wildwood Gazette

I am sure many of you are really good with Photoshop, I am still learning and sometimes it is a struggle with many clicks of the undo button.

but this set of posters for the blog came together quite easily, and because I am very pleased with the end result I thought I would share with you. The photo above is the original I took in world of a sleek tabby with folded ears.

  • Cut the cat out and replace him onto a black background
  • Resized it into a square from a rectangle
  • Painted the edges with black paint and then blurred it with Gaussian Blur

  • Add the font on two separate layers in white

  • On a third layer I added the features and coloured them
  • I took a sample of the colour and retinted the eye of the kitty
  • I slightly sharpened the whole image
  • and save.. taaa... daaa..!
I did'nt do any fancy footwork on these posters, all basic, but still that is the magic of Photoshop, even the faint of heart can use it and create great stuff.
Ionae.
