Continuing on with our photoshop, image editing, part of the 52 week challenge, this week I've been looking at the interaction of text in images. We're used to seeing images and text together, usually the text is helping to define or complement the photo in some way. So I decided to use a photoshop technique know as textualising on an image. My first attempt (the
Well, it's the new year and we're working in photoshop this month, and as part of our 52 Week Challenge my lovely wife Stacey volunteered to become a Borrower for the evening.
