We used 3 different images layered up onto Photoshop and used the cut out tool to make a quick effect for experimentation. The cutout tool I did the different levels so that the buildings are still recognizable.
We then made a brush on Photoshop.
I made an X as my experiment. Here is a brief step by step guide of how I created a brush:
- I created a seperate document to create the brush; putting an X on the page.
- On the layer CMD and click the T box and that should create 'marching ants' around the X
- Go to Edit
- Define brush edit - Name the brush
- Go to Window and get up brush and brush presets
- Go to the Brush tool
- Then in brush presets go to shape dynamics
there you can change the size, spacing, angle and scattering of the letter or image that I use.
This is the brush preset pallet this is where I changed the size etc of the X
These screen grabs are just showing how the X brush turned out on the piece.
Final of the images layered up and the brush tool around the edges.
--------------------------
From this I have learnt a new skill, I can use this brush idea with anything. I could scan in some drawings and use this as a way to finish off a piece of work, with a digital feel. Combining hand drawn and digital.
IDEA
Do my own drawing and make a brush from a small drawing.
To make my repeating pattern idea - hand drawn then finished off in Photoshop using a brush or colout blocking to make a smooth finish.
