After creating our A3 window and file, I imported my portrait into the canvas. To work on it, I clicked on the right mouse clicked on my photo, and selected "convert to smart object"
According to work into my smart object, I'm double-clicking the small paper-like symbol at my layer image. The next thing I need to do is after getting into my smart object, I click the small circle symbol down and choose the "hue and saturation".
With that, I can turn my image into black and white.
I'm dragging down the bar in the middle and turning my image into black and white.
Next, I want to create a clear distinction between black and white in the image.
After creating my black and white spaces I want to go to Filter>blur> Gaussian blur.
I'm editing my image and being sure that the general silhouette is still visible yet not too recognizable.
(be sure that you are on theright layer which is the image)
After editing my image, I'm saving it as a PSD file.
The next step will be adding my song lyrics. I used two songs from Roxette in this project according to make my text longer.
We pressed "T" as a hotkey for the text tool and pasted my song lyrics onto my image. For editing our text, we can go to Window>character and we can edit our text with the small window showing up.
We want to be sure that my paragraph doesn't have any gaps and that my text is in all caps.
The next thing we want to do is we want to apply the displacement filter.
To wrap my text around the image, I need to go to Filter>Distort>Displace
When we click on Displace, this screen will show up and we want to convert it as a smart object so we can still edit it. Restoring will make it become one layer which we dont want to do.
after clocking on okay from the panel comes up (we can edit it later) I'm choosing my displacement PSD.
With that, our image will wrap up on our photo and we can edit the levels of it.
To improve it even more, I can take my image to the top and right-click it. The next thing is I click on the
"create clipping mask" and to make it more visible and have control over it, I clicked on the circle-like symbol again at the bottom and chose the "solid color"
After choosing black and moving to the bottom again, now we have more depth in our image. At last, we can add a gradient effect for more improvement on our image.
With that, my image was ready.
