Project Settings + First Design: Learn Shortcuts, Gathering assets, Working Around Photoshop: Hello everyone and welcome to the course. I'm so excited to have you here. And this is our first lesson. Without any further ado, we're just going to jump into learning these things. But I wanted to introduce you to the lesson. So the first thing that I'm going to be shown to you as the best project settings that you can setup for your designs in order for them to be high-quality, non pixelated. Once we do that and create the project, we're going to create our first design. And I'll teach you a couple of things, as you can see from the title. And yeah, so let's jump straight into it. So right now I'm in Photoshop and this is how it looks like. Yours should be looking like this too. These are some my projects. The thing I like to do is go to Create New. Once I do this, this should pop up. You can name your project however you like it, but these aren't the most important things. You're just going to give me a second to do this. Okay, so these are the dimensions I wanted to show it to you. These are the dimensions that I like to use the most. I don't design in inches or stuff like that because it's kind of unnecessary and it eats up your PC, especially if it's not good, but these pixels, the sizes, are actually pretty, pretty good. So as you can tell, the width should be 3508. We're going to insert that here, 35 and waits for the height. As you can tell, we will be using 4961. And these are the default sizes that plan designers use. In case this is an inches or centimeters for you, make sure it's on pixels because we are going to be working in pixels. And this is the orientation that you can have to see what the project will look like for the resolution for printing, I like to keep it at 300 DPI or pixels or inches. And for color mode, we're going to be fixing that when it comes to normal projects. For example, if I do a YouTube thumbnail or I design a poster for a company or something. I like to keep it at RGB. When it come, when it comes to MC YK, I use that for these prints and I up the bit rate to 16 bits. This right here are the right colors for printing. Because if you keep it at RGB, what can happen right here is it can mess up a lot of the colors that you have on your shirt and they're not going to look anything like the look and the Photoshop project. That's why we use MC YK. And this way the things are going to look the same on the shirt as a look on the PC, on the computer, laptop, whatever you're doing. For the background, it doesn't matter. I use a white background if I if I have my text, if I have my text in white color, I will recolor it to black. This is nothing special for the color profile. I do don't color manage and square pixels. And that's should totally be it. Let's call this horse designs. And let's press Create. Once it creates a project, as you can tell, this is the project that we have right here. We will officially designed our first shirt. And this one is going to be simple. The reason why I picked this simple 1 first is because I wanted to walk you into the process of how I get are my assets, how I go about designing stuff, how I think about it, how I managed to get everything out. And I'll be teaching you how to export it in different ways. The more we events and the more we create will be doing more complex designs. So let's start. The first thing that I want to do is go to Google. By the way, I have this add on right here if you're interested in it, I think it's this one. I don't know, like it's called Google arts. Basically, if you have the boring Google logo and the search right here, it will replace a art, an art space. It will replace an Earth-based every 24 hours. So this is really cool. It's like an inspiration every time you get up on Google. So what I'm going to do right now is search for girl with her baring high quality. I don't want a low-quality one and need a high-quality one. Let's look for a good one. Let's see what do we have here? These are all really pixelated wants. What are we looking for specific phases right here, this size we wanted as big as we can find. And once we find a big one, this could work. Once we find a big one, it's going to be easier to. Here, this one is perfect. The things, the thing is like, the smaller of a quality it is, the less pixels, the more chance of it being a blurry. It That's why this size right here is way better than, for example, this one where it's 500 to 700 pixels. What are we going to do right here is drag this in. Once we downloaded it in case you didn't get what I did is I just right-clicked and save image. Let's go to Photoshop. We will drop it right here, w squared. If it's blurry right now, it's still not processed. If we press Apply, we'll have the high-quality picture right here. What I'm gonna do right here is carefully cut it out with a pen tool. Let me walk you to depend too and how you can get the most out of it. The first thing is to zoom in on your canvas right here is holding Alt and scrolling up or down. If you scroll up, it's going to zoom in and hold space to select your hand so you can move freely around your canvas. So we were here, we hold Alt V, zoom in, click space and drag where we want to start working. What I wanna do here is click right here for the starting point of our Pen tool right here that we selected. Click right here. And then we just want to click wherever you want it, but don't release it, just drag it so you can tilt it and create it however you like. Just don't let go of it. So just click and drag off these pointers right here, these little handles. If you hold Alt again and then click on them, you will have this point right here so you can move them. This determines in which direction the line is going to keep going. So if I keep it down here and click here, it's going to be tilted, that's bad. But if I click right here, drag it up to where I wanted the path to keep going. It's going to be way more precise. So I'm just going to click drag, click, drag, click drag. And this is basically the process of selecting the way I'm moving here, right here. And as I said, holding space as I as I'm out of space right here, as you can tell, I'm out of space for ideas. I click space and then move up so I can see clearly what I'm doing on my Canvas. The first job right here is selected as you can. As you can tell, I had to do a little curve right here to catch up all of her clothes. But my line now when here I'm going to hold Alt readjusted right here. And as you can tell, it's a nice straight line that I'm working with right here. And this is some really simple retouching process. It doesn't have to be completely perfect. That's not what you need of the design. You want the design to be. You want the design to be artistic. Do you have a meaning? Do you have the person wanting to wear it to represent something? And that's where you stop caring about the outer lines, this you cut out. You just care about sending the message with your design and don't be scared that I'm doing this too fast. You can just pause and keep working on it. The reason why I'm fast is because I've done this tons of times and I'm really proud of a lot of practice with the pen tool. But don't worry, the more UBI, The more you, you're going to be cutting things out is gonna make you better with this too. And said, This doesn't have to be completely perfect. I'm just going to keep cutting this thing out. Here. We're getting dark. But you can do is add a hurry, call it like a highlight filter right here. Increase the highlights and shadows to see what's happening. But I don't think this is necessary here because you can just do it where you think it's ending. As I said, for the fourth time, I think it doesn't have to be perfect. And we're the clue it is cutting off. You can just go around it, click on it, and you connect the last one. Right now once we have this selection, what we wanna do is right-click right here. Make Selection. And 0 pixels, new selection, anti allies and 0 pixels, we want to pixels to get messed up or merged two. What do we wanna do is just right-click make selection and 0 pixels. Once we click OK. As gonna make a selection of r right here. And what are we going to do is next, we're just going to click, while we have this layer selected, click on our Girl with a Pearl Earring, make sure it's selected. Click Control and J. And as you can tell, we cut out the mass that we created. I wanted to show you some other things that you can do and how to select it. But this is an AI, for example, if you click right here, Quick Selection Tool you can do is select your subject. Right here, the layer on the subject, select subject and it's gonna do a smart selection right here, as you can tell, but sometimes, especially with the shadows, it doesn't do a very good job. As you can tell. For example right here then selected well, but if you keep expanding, it's going to mess it up. Don't get me wrong. I use the selection tool for most of my YouTube thumbnails that I had them doing to cut out the YouTuber, the subject. But when it's that when the image is a bit dark, the program messes it up. But actually it's really good too. That's why I mentioned it to you, so you could have it in mind. And also, when you do a selection like this, it doesn't do a very good job of harsh selection, as you can tell, it's like really edgy right here. And on the other hand, as you can tell, our image is really sharply selected and cut out with the pen tool. That's why I like using the pen tool more. Right now we don't need the whole image anymore. What I'm gonna do is click on it and just click Delete is going to delete the image. I'm going to select our girl with the pearl earring that we cut out. I'm going to resize it. The way I'm going to resize it is by holding Control and T. The reason why I'm teaching you all of these shortcuts is because their dinner when you want to design in Photoshop, I don't know if you're a beginner, if you're not, that's a really big plus for you, but this is the reason why I said I'm going to be explaining everything that I do because I know there are some of the beginners out there that don't understand this stuff. And that's why you need to use shortcuts to be working faster. Time is money. So what I'd like to do right here is expanded her bit right here, put her in the middle, and click. By. Now, I wanna do some fixes on the cut out. The way I can do that is by clicking this right here, adding a mask to our layer, make sure your layer is selected first ng-click mass right here. This thing will be, this thing will appear. This is a layer mask. This is basically as a board that you have to pay nine you've been in now you want to remove some of the parts, are bringing back some of the parts. What do you wanna do is select this V2 and have your black selected. Black is for removing stuff, white is for bringing them back. I also like to go here, select the hard round brush, not the soft one. And right here I wanted to do some of the fixed on the selection. If you I will put the expand and these zoom in on the brush. Because I don't know how you call these buttons. I will put the images of the buttons and the video so you know, so the left one is far as zooming out, zooming in, I mean, expanding and making it smaller. So what I'm gonna do is slowly starts. We are adjusting this curve right here. And I have black selected. So that means I'm going to be, you're removing these parts. And if we do that like this, I like it way more. I'm going to zoom in holding Alt and then remove bit of this because I feel like her back, they'll look natural. And here we go. So this right here is our final selection, our final cut out that we want to work with. The next thing that I'm going to do is go here to layers and click back on our subject. I'm not going to be missing with the layer mask anymore. I want to do right now is click on this pen tool again. And as you remember, I'm going to cut her face out. Let me actually, let me do this. I'm going to go through the designs and the final design right here. And I'm going to drop it underneath so I can pull it back from time to time to explain what we're doing. What are we gonna do here is make the selection around her face so we can create the feeling of having her empty inside. I'm going to drop it underneath and select our layer again. Go back to Penn too. And we're gonna do, we're going to simply do the same process. Selecting what I would advise you to do is follow the edges of her face to make it more realistic. And not just make a bold selection. So follow a bit with the curves by using the curves. Tried to follow a bit of her face. So it looks like a real face cut out. And as we've created this, you can hold Alt to zoom in, zoom out. What I wanna do right now is right-click on it. And by the way, if you're having, if you're struggling a bit with this, you can just pause the video, negative selection, take your time and then continue. This is the good thing about learning online. You can just pause the video, do the thing that you have to do, and then come back to it. So what I'm gonna do right now is right-click it and make the selection 0 pixels again click Okay. So what I'm gonna do right now is go right here to the layer mask and go back to our brush tool. I'm going to remove this face by having the black on and then removing her face. And as you can tell, we remove cr phase but I'm not going to remove the mask. And if you're wondering how to remove the mass that you have at the moment, it's just by clicking Control and deep. And that's failed was the mask. I'm going to undo that. What I wanna do right now is do the next thing. I'm going to add a layer by clicking right here on this plus icon, create a new layer. What I'm gonna do is this. I am going to go on the colors. And as you can have, when you hover over anything, you can select its color. So what I'm gonna do is I'm going to select the closest thing to a natural skin tone that she has. So for example, weight. This right here. This seems like a natural skin tone. What I'm gonna do is recolor everything here. And I'm going to make another layer, go again into colors and select a darker skin tone, but not much. Let's say this. And we're going to recolor that inside. And now click Control and deselect. Right there. We have two layers right here. Let's rename there so we are more organized. Let's do this one is subject. Let's do this one as the edge, the lighter one, and the black one. The dark one is inside. Let's bring this back right here. Let me explain what we wanna do here. We want to create this edge right here as a feeling of the face being cut out. And that is the lighter one as you can see, the darker one is for the insights. But we are going to be adding some textures, some coloring, some filtering to make it look realistic like this. We move this back here. So what are we going to do right now is the next thing. We're going to click on this inside one and just move it to the side a bit where we want it to be. And as you can tell, we already have this edge here created. What you could do is hold Shift and chop this down a bit by holding Shift. And as I said, we want to scale something is by clicking Control and t. So here you go, controlling t. You move this back to the sides. It's really, really smaller. And if you want to drop a site a specific side more, you just hold shift and you dropped this down right here. You bring this up right here. This is how you work your way around it. If we press OK. As you can tell, everything is here. Everything seems already fine. And as it's been cut up, what do we wanna do that right now that we have the selection right here is make it look more realistic. What I'm gonna do is click this edge right here to select this layer and then click Plus. And then I'm going to use this simple layer, call it edge shadows. Right-click create clipping mask. Thing we did right here is, as this layer is not going to affect the whole canvas underneath it, it's going to be connected to this edge right here. When we do, just gonna do it on this edge that we have it right here. So what I'm gonna do right now is go to the color, select the black shadows and have my edge shadows selected. The clipping mask, go right here to brushes. Go to soft round brush and drop it from going to decrease the size of the brush. And I'm just on the edge as it's soft, I'm going to start touching the edges. And if you think this is too much, for example, which you can do is drop the opacity right here of the brush and it's going to be painting way less. That is also really useful to know. And what you could do is just do this. And you will have your edge, the king, really realistic. But you can then do, is do this bit darker on the top and watch this right now. So if I feel like I've colored some pieces over way more than I wanted to. What I can do is click this right here, add a layer mask to our edge shadows and do the same thing with the brush. Select the brush, select the black and slowly start painting over it to remove with the black some parts. If I wanted to bring back some parts like this piece right here that I bit, I can just go back to white and Riyadh it back now. And this is a really cool way on how to create fake shadows to make it look way more realistic as you can tell, this is the first piece. This is the second piece. And as you can tell, I could move this way. Decide. This looks really realistic. What do we wanna do right now is select the inside. We're finished with the shadows. We're finished with creating the fake cut out around it. We made it look realistic. We want to work on the insights. Now, what do we wanna do is click on it, add another layer mask and then do the to create a clipping mask. Right-click, create a clipping mask. Select our black jockey Opacity, have our soft round brush on it, and increase the size of it. And right now I'm going to be, I'm going to be touching the edges right here. So I could do the shadows to make it seem as it's really empty inside. You know, what, I'm gonna do that. Adding this shadows right here to the edge, just painting on the sides a bit. And of course to make it three-dimensional here, I'm going to do this under here as well. But I'm not going to do too much. This is just a personal preference of how much you want to do it. And this way, I feel like as if we create a more realistic and as you can tell, it seems way more empty this way, once we add the shadows, we made it look ambient. And this seemed really realistic and can increase the paths, decrease your past, increase the shadow, touch it a bit right here. Well, I feel like this looks really realistic. Another thing that I want to do is I'm going to be providing you with this stuff. I'm going to go over to my folder where I have all of my overlays that I've found for free online. And we can do is maybe find some specific ones that I will be showing you everything that you need. But right now, I'm just exploring because that's part of designing, exploring, seeing what works, what doesn't. For example, going to textures. And let's go to Canvas. I can go into Canvas right here, select a specific one and drop it right here. What I'm gonna do right now is cover it over this face. Let's do it like this. Leave it there. What I'm gonna do right now is right-click on it and create a clipping mask and unconnected to the face that we just created. But we can't leave it like this. I just want the texture of it, you know? So I'm going to click on Ru, overlay or texture. Go over here to blending modes and see which one works. Multiply works well. We'll see some other ones. This one, but it looks cool. This is literally just testing out to see what should work and what shouldn't. And I feel like multiply is the best piece, but it's a bit too much. What I'm gonna do is drop down the opacity of it. And I feel like around 50 percent should work. And I'm going to click Enter because my blending modes are selected, you can tell they're blue. I'm going to click Enter and zoom out on Alt. And as you can tell, this is the before, this is the afterward, it before the after. And as you can tell, it looks way more realistic. It looks way more empty with the shadows. The last thing that we're left to do with the design is at a specific eye-catching tax that I like to do. What I'm gonna do is click on texts right here. Click to Type, and go right here. These are the texts while the text is selected. What I wanna do is click right here and search for a specific text. I mean, a font. I like to use this font even though it's copyrighted, but this is just for the sake of learning. I wanted this book font I'm going to type right here, oblivion. We're going to have to select the text again. So the Photoshop would know which text I wanted to change the color to. I'm going to select it. Go right here, two colors, you can go right here. You have to go here and then go to white. I'm going to click Okay, I'm going to click, Apply here. But there are some other things that you can do. For example, if you select the text, you have some other things right here. You can do with the text. For example, you this, this, I'm going to keep it at 0. You can change the positions of it. I'm going to click Apply right here. I'm going to click Control T. Scale the text down. And I'm going to put it to where I want it to be. I want the text to be more smaller on the edge of it, on the edge of the face. The reason why I put it here is because I feel like the text is really eye-catching and it's going to send a message to the empty phase, the emptiness in the head. And that's what the oblivion where it is about the state of unaware. And what you can do right now is once you have the o of this finished, you can go right here to this and select your filters. For example, go to levels, drop it on top, and go right here. The bottom one is for shadows, as you can tell. The middle one is for shadows and highlights for the myths, and right here for the highlights. But you could do sharp the shadows a bit. You can add another one. It can add hue and saturation, maybe increase the saturation if you want colors to pop out and stuff like that. And once you have it all selected, that should be, it should are, this should be our first design. I hope you understood exactly what we did here and you learn created your first design by following up on the project. The reason why I started with this one is because this one is a more simple one. And it explains everything that we're going to be working with are going to be explained. We are going to be working with the pen to the text, the masks, the layering and stuff, the cut out, everything that you need to know to be using from all of these. And you'll learn a lot of shortcuts like moving with the spacebar, zooming in on all sides and stuff like that. The next thing that we're left with is exporting it as a PNG. The reason why we exploiting it as a PNG is because we want a transparent background so it can be printed without this black borders right here on a shirt if you wanted to, that's completely fine. You can do is just. Have this black background right here. Go to File export. You can export it as a PNG, JPEG, whatever when you have the black background. But if you want a transparent background is going to have to be a PNG. So you just go to export or export as a JPEG, whatever, you know, designs. And then actually, let's do this. Let's go to my designing and course design. 000 001. You just click Save and it's saved, it's going to be right here. Let me find it for you real quick. As you can tell, I'm not really organized, but it's right here, as you can tell, this is the full picture that we just created and it's going to look the same as it is on a print on a shirt. What I wanted to explain you right now is how to export it as transparent so it could be printable on a mockup. What I'm gonna do is hide all of these layers right here. So you hide the black background, but everything you have underneath to have this transparent background go to File Export, Quick Export as PNG. Png. We're going to export it and that is it. You can save your project, control and safe. I don't want to save it because I already have it. What I'm gonna do right now is open a recent one. I'm going to open the T-shirt mockup that I will provide you with. So let me just go here. I will be providing you with this. You can just open it right here. What I want you to do is go right here, either hide this layer or deleted. I got this tissue mock-up from intuitive design shut out to him. What you can do is just go right here and hide this again, right here as you can tell. And what are we going to do right now is just go right here to our folder where we have it. Go to PNG one. Just drop it in. And as you can tell, it's going to be a PNG. You can just scale it to how ever much you want it to be, the size of it. Click like this, and it's going to be applied to, we can also do is check some of these if you think it can blend well for the image or the shirt behind it. And this is everything that I do when it comes to creating mock-ups, creating these designs. And this is just to have a brief representation of what is going to look like. So I do File Export, Export as PNG. I go to wherever I want to save it. This is 000 001 mock-up. Stay organized like this guy is, this really helps out. As you can tell, you have your mock-up, you have the representation of what is going to look like. I really like, for example, to portray my designs like this. If only I was organized well enough to know where I hit it. Here it is. For example, like this. I like to do this. What I want to represents for the launch of the brand or something. And that's why keep these mockups. So that will be it for our first design. We're going to be explaining in our second lesson are more advanced, more cool-looking design. And yeah, that will be it. I hope you learned something new. I hope you enjoyed this one, and I will see you in our next lesson. 3. 2nd Design: Working With Text Effects, Overlays, Color Matching and More: Hello everyone and welcome back to a brand new lesson. In this lesson, I'm going to be teaching you how to create this cool, cool design for a shirt that I've created. This is probably my most requested one. The one that people like the most. It's this one. But I like the white version way more. And yeah, so here it is, right up here. White version. I'm going to be teaching you exactly how to create. Let's go right here. I'm going to be teaching you exactly how to create this. Look on this piece, on this figure right here. How the trial its face, how to create this dripping effects on it. I will also teach you how to create this, how to match the colors of this AK 47. Because at first it's going to be looking totally high-quality wood good colors. I'm going to show you how to match the colors with it. And then after that, I'm going to show you how to create this cool effect on the text and how to match this effect. This little text right here, the same way as it's in the newspaper. This is really popular, the small text and these other little things about it. So yeah, let's start right away. I have my same project right here. I just hit this piece that we did in our last lesson. What I'm gonna do for a change right now is add another layer and recolor it and white because I want this text to be in black because as I said, I like this design way more on a white shirt. So let's go back right here. And the first thing that I'm gonna do is I'm going to go to my folder. I have found a space online. The same way I found this one the same way I've found this piece right here. So you're just going to search for a cupid, PNG and AKP and G. Same way I showed you how I found this piece online. That's how I basically look for everything that I need for my designs. Google is full of free, free to use non copyright PNG pictures. And what I'm gonna do first is they can and imported right here. First off, I'm going to scale it up big and nice because I want to remove some parts of it. And I wanted to remove this flower right here so I can add the AK and his hands, the gun. The thing I'm gonna do is click right here to create a mask, add a layer mask. And what I'm gonna do is have a hard brush right here. Select the brush and go to the ARD One, take the black. And what I'm gonna do is remove all of this from his hands. And we're just going to increase the opacity to a 100. And I'm going to zoom in where my Alton scroll, as I said in my previous lesson. And what I'm gonna do is remove all of this from his hands. I'm not going to go too much in detail right here because the gun is going to be covering that anyway, which we're just going to let the fingers overlaid. And I'm just gonna keep going, keep deleting the stuff. And yeah, this is really simple work. Once you get used to this, you will be deleting it way faster. I'm nowhere near good would it? But I've seen people like do it the same way somebody would do it. What a tablet they asked them or using a tablet to delete and they're like, No, I do it with my mouse. So you just need time to get free with this to understand exactly how you're going to use it. Basically practice, practice makes everything perfect. Another thing that I like to do, I'm going to show you this, this little trick is, let's say I want to delete from here to here what a straight line. What I'm gonna do is click here first, then hold shift, and click on the other end. And it's going to delete a straight line, as you can tell. That is really useful to know. That can help with deleting some big as parts. And that is just really useful to know. So right now I'm just going to try to make these edges it's smooth as possible. Make them lose the greenish color from the, from the flowers. But also it's not that important to make it perfect. And the reason is because the design is not going to be that big and the shirt. So those are not some stuff you should be worrying about. You also need to think about the psychology behind the design. That is, people are going to be focused way more on the message that the design is sending with the gun. And what I'm trying to say is, they're not going to be judging the designer. You're going to be judging the message that it's sending so they don't care about if you mess up some of the lines. So right now we cut it out and maybe we could do some recoloring on it. So what I'd like to do is do some brightness and contrast created down there, create clipping mask. We could increase a bit of brightness, maybe add a bit of contrast did just to make the colors pop a bit as you can tell. And right now what I'm gonna do is take this AK right here that I have imported into Photoshop or I'm going to do is make it smaller, resize it. And what I'm going to do is right-click flip horizontal so I can flip it right here. And I'm going to increase it. And I'm gonna make it to where as it's been held by the hand. What I'm going to click right here while it's still and the transform option. Drop the opacity so I can tell where the hands are. And what I'm gonna do right now is right-click this warp and it's going to let me work it. So what I'm gonna do a bit is make it a bit stretched out. And the reason for that is because I want to fit it into its hands. Nice and big. And I want to get this finger in here. So what I'm gonna do is apply this, get the opacity back. And what I'm gonna do is maybe stretch it out. Let's see. I'm going to drop it down actually. Just like this. Let's apply it. Let's drop the opacity a bit once again. And what I'm gonna do right now is create a mask on it, a layer mask while it's selected. So I wouldn't know where to delete the AK to make it seem as the and is holding it with else you can do is hold Control. Click on this thing right here. And you could delete inside of it as you can tell. But since we had the flowers, that's going to be a bit hard. So I'm just gonna do a free, free mass with my hand right here. And don't worry if you miss some of the parts up, you can just go back to white and redraw them, you know. So that's not a big deal. Like this. First I'm going to do like this. Shadow know exactly what to remove. So since we removed that, we're gonna go back to white and go around the fingers and readjust some of these. Unless we did that, you can go back up here. And as I said, as I always say, this doesn't have to be perfect. It just has to seem realistic. Needs to focus on the message that it's sending. And it should be okay. Yeah, so let's get the opacity backup. Cl we did right here. That seems really, really realistic. What I'm gonna do is drop the opacity and fix this part up a bit. Maybe. Let's see. Let me see if I can okay. See if I can do a bit more around each parts. So we choose the white. Yeah. Okay, that looks way better. Even better when we downscale this because as you can tell on the design, it looked really, really small. Let's actually drop the opacity again. See what we can do with this thing right here, but this part right here. Maybe we can just do this. For example, we can go back here to our layer mask, select the black. Oops. Select the black. And try to reveal this finger. And I'm going to go back to white. Tried to get the finger around the finger, the edges backup. Let's try something right here so this can be done a bit more. Yeah. I like that. I like that. I really like that. The next thing that I'm going to teach you is as you can tell this AK as looking kind of a realistic to take we're gonna do with it is click on it. And I'm going to go right here to this filters thing. What I'm gonna do is mess with hue saturation, color balance, brightness and contrast levels, whatever it takes to match the colors of it. So I'm going to take a bit of brightness, create a clipping mask on it. Let's try to drop the brightness now let's increase it. What are we going for right now? Is that faded? Look the same way this thing looks. So I'm going to click underneath it and whatever I add underneath this clipping mass is going to clip it right away. So I'm going to go for hue and saturation, as you can tell it, clipped it right away. I'm going to zoom in a bit so I can see what's happening with the colors. And I'm just going to move around. As I can tell, this right here is looking way, way better. I like the yellow match with this shrub that Let's see if we drop down the saturation. Yes, we can chop it a bit. And for the end, we could go with a bit of color balance. Let's see. If we go separated from the blue, it's causing a bit of red, which I like this right here, green or purple, we can add a bit of purple and go a lot with the yellow. Know right here. Maybe see what we can do with curves. If we get a map right here is going to increase the highlights. If we get them done right here is going to increase the shadows. See the before and after. And if we back this thing up, actually this in the folder, create a clipping mask again. Can we, can we do it actually? No, we need to create a new layer. It doesn't matter. We can just do this. And as you can tell, it looks way more realistic like this. That's how you match colors. You just play with the color balance as you can tell it. It's really simple though. It shows you clearly here what colors you will achieve as you move away. So as you can tell, is if I, if our aka was a bit blue, we can chop, chop it back to red, Optum, magenta, or green, you just pull back to the other side. It's really simple. If you want yellow, you just pull up the yellow and as you can tell, we match the colors pretty, pretty good according to this right here. What are we going to do right now is lose the face. There are multiple ways to which we can do it. The first thing that I'm going to do is click on this right here. On the copy down. I don't know I recall this. Right-click. Go to Rasterize Layer. And what are we going to do right now is zoom in on his face. And there are multiple ways to which you can remove the face. The first one is using the Lasso tool. The reason why we rasterized layer is because we get it. We could do this simple tricks on it too, which you can do when it's a smart object. So the first thing that you could do is she can just select this like this lasso tool. Simple one. You can just go around it, right-click it. Go to Fill. Content-aware, normal, pass it a 100 percent color, Color Adaptation. Click Okay. As you can tell, it loses it. It's not really perfect, but it does the job. And another thing you can do is go right here to the clone stamp tool. You can click, for example, right here in the piece of the scanner you like. You can go right here, do the same way as you deal with the brushes, go for the soft one. And if you do this, as you can tell, it's going to be covering up the face pretty well, pretty, pretty decent job. You can just keep retouching it. Now what I like to do is still used this tool because it does a pretty good job. I'm going to keep selecting this things and right-click Fill. Okay. As you can tell, he's doing a pretty, pretty perfect job. I'm not worried currently about these red lines right here. Because as you remember, we're going to twirl the phase. And the way we're gonna do that is by gang right here to smudge, to. The Smudge tool is a really cool too. And it also contains right here, if you right-click smart sharpen blur, I'm going to use the Smudge Tool. What I'm going to do is the soft round brush and drop the strength a bit just about 78%. Now what I'm gonna do is just do this. I click a track and I let it go. The reason why I'm letting go every time I drag is because it touches it every time and it makes it too early as you can step, as you can tell. And I really like this effect of losing the face. And I think this looks pretty, pretty dope. So as you can tell, this is pretty easy to do. Just twirl it, let the finger go of the mouse one, go back, do it again, do it again until you get this trolley phase right here. The next thing that we're going to do is make the drip effect that is achieved exactly the same way with the smudge tool. As you can tell, we just need to be a bit creative with your movements and decide where you want to do it. As you can tell, I'm doing these motions, these right here. So I would also advise you to make it look as it's going down the leg to make it look more realistic. And it also on his hands. If you think this is a bit too shrank full, you can drop it down. Again, the strength of it. You can use more soft brush or something. But I feel like this is pretty, pretty good for now. And I like how this turned out. You can do the same thing wherever you want it. This is just the personal touch, but this way I'm teaching you a lot of the stuff about the Photoshop tools. That's why I'm showing you all of these. This was just my creative touch when I was creating the piece. But I also like to teach you about some of the tools that you can be using. Now, another thing that we're gonna do is click on top right here, zoom out a bit. And what I'm gonna do right now is use the text tool. We're going to click it right here. And I have this pairing Gothic font that I've found for free. It's free to use on the font.com, da F0 and T.com. I will probably link this to you for free, but yeah, you can use any font. I'm not even sure if it's this farm, but it doesn't matter. It's just for the sake of learning. It was this one. All London alternate. I find all my fonts for free on the font.com. But the thing that I wanted to teach you right here is how I made the effect of traveling the text around, warping and around. And I did that by double-clicking the text. And it's going to select the text, select the Text Tool Type 2. I'm going to go right here. This option creates work tax and you have a lot of different styles and as you can tell, it shows exactly which one will achieve what. So I will go with the arc one and I'm going to drop it down because I don't need it that much and you can even change different of these. You can do this. I kept it horizontal. And to be honest, I don't even remember how much I have bended it over. But yeah, this is the effect that I use as the arc one. Let's go down a bit. And I think I did this when I first okay. Right. Okay. I dropped it down right here. And then I held Shift on my Transform control T. And I dragged it in a bit like this. But you can also do is hit the center like this click, Okay? And we achieve the warping texts that we wanted to. Another thing that I wanna do is go back to my folders, go back to my folders of shapes. What I did is I used this one. I will provide you with a few of the shapes and gathered from intuitive design shut out m. What I'm gonna do right now is hold Shift and downscale it from up. So I can really like twirling and I'm going to make them really small. And I'm going to do it like around the size of the stomach cavity. Now, I'm going to add another one by holding Alt and dragging this one. That's how you copy, by the way, just hold Alt, drag it up, you copy that. You hold. If you wanna do it, if you want to drag it into the same line, you click transformed by controlling D, you hold shift, and you just drag this thing out and it's going to drag it in a perfect line, just like this. And right now, what I wanna do as if I have everything of these, I wanted to add that little text right here where a meaning. So what I'm gonna do is click on Text, click right here. First, I'm going to drop it really low. And you can use whichever texts you want. I feel like the Arial, Arial and a I call it. The default one is really useful for these ones, but you can also use some other ones. For example, any text that you find that it's used in newspapers, that is really good. What I'm going to do is go right here, search for some, let's say let's do like living quotes. And I don't care what the tax right. I was gonna say I had a specific text when I wanted to, I wanted to create a design. But right now just for the sake of teaching you about these things, I'm going to paste it right here. Double-click right here. So I select all of it and then drag it right here to make the text even smaller. But now I like this. I want to be able to read it actually, what I'm gonna do right now is press OK, click right here. I actually want to hold Shift and Enter because I want to chop the text. But as I can tell, the text is really separated. You need to double-click it again, go right here to properties and text things. And right here, this is the separation of how big the text between itself is. So if we drag this up, actually either drop it, it's going to drop the text to where we want it to be. Then I'm gonna do another one of these. I'm gonna do another one of these. Let's see. I'm going to move the text. I want to see where else I can make it smaller. My PC is kind of freezing at the moment. I'm sorry for that. That happens when I'm working with text on a big project. What I wanna do right now is show you how to just stick it in the middle. What I wanna do right now is show you how to show you how to do the effect of the text displaying itself the same. You do it as in the newspaper with a straight line, straight margin. What do you do is you selected, you go right here to type. And then which wanna do is click right here to convert to paragraph text. And the thing we're gonna do is double-click on it and as you can tell, it's changed its transform surroundings. What I'm gonna do right now is go right here to properties and the text options. And instead of this right here, we will use this one. But as you can tell, it's making a lot of space. So what you can do is make it smaller and make sure if it's stretching out text. You just make it tight like this. If the texts and messing up linked list just make it tight to the point where it's going to keep everything in place. And you just click right here enter and threads. You can do the normal Stretching out and stuff and increase the size of it, for example, or something. I'm going to place it right here above it. And what I'm gonna do is duplicate it by holding Alt just so the text is a bit darker and it's a bit more visualizing, Lee, pleasing. And right now we're actually done with the design. What I would like to show you is a few of the touches that you can do. For example, what I wanted to do in the Aka that I forgot is going above it, going right here to filters and Noise, Add Noise. It's going to ask you for how much I feel like this is enough. I'm going to press OK. And it actually hits the brightness. My Beth Garrett here to the AK, click on it. Do the same thing. Filter Noise, Add Noise. Okay? And it added noise. And you can always, when it's a smart object and its other rasterized normal layer, you can go back to noise and readjust this, do what you want it to be. And I feel like adding this noise, make it, made it look where more old-school to match this, this subject right here. So yeah, that is exactly how you create this piece right here. What I'm gonna do right now is go to File, Export. Export, a normal one with the background. To save that I'm going to hide the this everything a bit because I need a transparent one. Export, Quick Export as PNG is 000 to PNG Save. Now what I'm gonna do is go to our, let me just go to my course settings right here. And I have this white tissue that I got from intuitive designs. I'm going to link you to this one. We can just keep the noise. And what I'm gonna do is remove the design. I'm going to go to my folder, search for the PNG one, and drop it right here. You can just match it to where you want it to be. You can increase or decrease it like this size right here. I'm going to bring it up a bit more because I like is designed to be on the chest. And we can do is export it like this. What I did for this one is I replaced the background to be white. But there is personal preference for zeros or a mock-up. And that is our design that we've created. Here's it on the mockup. Here's a right here. And I feel like this is a really cool touch. And it's really a treat to area. And I feel like this is one of the, this is one of the most requested designs by the people that I showed it to you, by the people that are wanting to buy, they will do we're begging 3D printed. But yeah, that's how you create this specific design. I hope you learned something new. I hope you'll learn how to work around matching colors, working with text effects and stuff like that. Thank you for I'm in this lesson and I will see you in our next one. 4. 3rd Design: Master Composition, Overlays, Textures and Text Effects: Hello everyone and welcome to our third lesson. This is R, I think they're less than, this is our third design for sure. And I'm going to be teaching you how to create this specific design that I did for a shirt, for a big baggy shirt. In this lesson, we're mainly going to be focusing on the aspect of working with the text and creating this unique design. Working with shadows, with layers right here with overlays, I mean, and this blood overlay, this eye effect right here, how I made it look realistic. As you can tell this dirty stuff, this overlays and this text effect. This lesson is going to be focusing mainly on creating an aesthetic piece overall and not teaching you all about the tools. Because to be honest, you've learned 90 percent of the tools that we're going to be using by now. This right here, just to teach you the thought process and how to create a piece overall. So let me just hide this right here. And I'm gonna show you like I have this Mona Lisa piece right here, this vanguard out of portrait, and I have this one. I'm not going to be cutting her out because I already have her cut out from the first design just saw, don't waste your time. So what I'm gonna do is only let them only son covered. Let's do the Pen tool and start cropping currents. You can tell this is where the edge starts. So what I'm gonna do is just do a fast cut out because most of our body's going to be covered so I don't need a sharp cut out, you know. And maybe we could do a better job around her head. That's an important part. And it's really easy to be honest since her head is kind of flat right here and it's not full of curly hair, which is really hard to get out. And to be honest, you could be using the smart selection tool that I've showed you previously for this base. But I'm going to finish it right here. And we have this selection right here. What I'm gonna do is always is right-click. It makes selection. Click. Okay? We made a selection. We're going to click Control J to create a duplication right here and there it is. We might do a bit of fixes with the layer mask. But first of all, I want to cut out this piece right here. It's pretty much the same process. I would advise you to do this more and more just so you could get the hang of the pen tool. I've explained everything that you need to know about it in the first lesson. So right now, I'm just cutting it out for the sake of the video so you would know how to work with it. So I'm just holding thinking Control Z to undo. If I want to move something, I'm holding Alt and all the things that I have showed you and the first two lessons I'm using right now. This is just simple retouching. And we're done with the cutout. I can go around it, make a selection. Click Control jokes. I'm gonna select the dog. Do the Control J, think we have it right here. I'm going to just scroll actually down. Hopefully we have the normal cut out. Yes, we do. I'm going to click control C to copy. Go up here, click Control V to paste, and it's going to paste it right above. I'm going to limit, just bring all this stuff. We messed up. Alright, actually, just here. So let me just convert it to a smart object. Let's wait for a bit. All right, so let's do like this. Girl. Delete this. We don't need this anymore. We don't need this anymore. I like to keep my stuff organized. That's why you will see me deleting a lot of stuff that I don't need. Delete this. And this is actually and what I'm gonna do right now is dropped the girl. The pearl earring all the way down. I'm going to keep the vanguard in the middle. And Mona Lisa right here. Let's first do retouching are Mona Lisa. I'm gonna do a Layer Mask and do the simple work that I have to wear a hard brush around it. So first, I'm going to do this right here. I thought it would be cool to leave her veil, but it's not. That's what I'm going to lose it. I'm going to decrease this and make it look a little less edgy. And Marc Kirby, in case you're hearing cars outside like on fricking races. That's because people in my town are weird than they like to drive fast and 12 AM. I don't know why, but it's just how some people are. And here we are learning about Photoshopping, floating. So I'm thinking about doing this edge right here. No, this is just messing her, OK? All right. I'm satisfied with this base. What else we can do is do some of the color retouching as I showed you. It all goes down to which what is the style that color the U1 achieve? I feel like this. This is ganache, way better. I'm going to jump capacity of it a bit just so I can decrease it a bit. And I'm going to go right now to I'm going to hide her, covered the girl. And she has been cut out perfectly already. The Vanguard. He could use some retouching wise to do a mask. Do this right here. Can even do this. That Todd, like this. This is a cool effect. I'm going to drop the smoothing to 0 and just leave a hole right here. Looks like. So it looks like it's a free PNG picture. Is l like it more. These simple things right here that I like to do. And yeah, so I'm going to zoom out right now, see if there's any more fixes that we need to do. Again, car his ear. This right here, this could do some retouching. This is really sharp. This is way better. And yeah, I feel like I couldn't wait to actually want to move him to the side and make this right here a bit softer. Just like this. And this looks pretty dope. And write down that we have all of them cut out, as you can tell, I removed their noses in faces, left only their mouth. Do I'm going to do that is by uncovering him first. Let's do him first. So I'm going to do the same thing as I did previously. Data lie. So to get around it, right-click it and click Fill in case this field is headed for you. What you don't, what you didn't do is you left him as a smart object, but he actually has to be rasterized. So right-click and rasterize it. You will have this option then and go to Fill. Click Okay. Wait to see how much of a good job that's going to do in its fricking perfect. This is really good too. I'm gonna do the same thing for this. I, and I don't feel like it's going to work for the nose. Let's try because it's going to catch up some of the beard. But let's see, maybe it does work. Alright, so did work, but in case it didn't, I would just use this right here. Select sound this. Maybe just to know, just retouch it right here. Is you work. And maybe we could take some of this right here to cover the light party. No, because they're making a lot of separation from it. And yeah, we're done with the Vanguard Auto Portrait. What I'm gonna do right now is uncovered the Mona Lisa. I'm going to click on her. She's also been rasterized. She's normal layer. What I'm going to do is do the same process for her eyes. Feel like it's gonna do a good job? Yeah. By the way, it doesn't have to be perfect because later on we're going to be covering all of these parts, as you remember, with the red bar. All right, so what we can do is use a bit of stamp tool right here. Covering these parts. Were done with her. We're gonna do the girl also. The girl. Tough, Let's see. Okay. Select it like that. Select her first. As you can tell, she's a smart object. I can right click and fill are. What I'm gonna do is this. Let's right-click here, rasterize. I'm going to do the selection again. Fill. Okay? That's kind of good. It doesn't matter because you can just three touches reduction to touch it until it's good. This filter doesn't have limits. Once I'm done with the nose. Hopefully works because it's really long. Did a great job man, nice. Read some of this. And what I'm gonna do right now is lined them up as I wanted to. So I'm going to reveal all of them. I'm going to first do the vanguard. Oh, we have these black things retrieved. It didn't even notice this week you remove this is by using this magic eraser tool. This is a really good tool. It's simpler razor tool. You just right-click and go to Magic Eraser tool. And it's going to remove all these simple, like solid color backgrounds. You know, a lot of times when I have a picture that I want to use as a PNG, but I don't have it as a PNG. I have a white background, but you can do is just click this magic eraser tool and it does miracles. So you learned something new by me making a mistake. So what I'm gonna do right now is resize him, put him right here in the middle. Like this. The next thing I'm gonna do is do the girl right here, do err on the side. What I did with the Mona Lisa is I transformed for flipped or horizontally. She was also on the side. Right now. I feel like I want to scale them up where I had them, I twist them a bit to the side. And also what I did is, as you remember, I removed all of these parts in my original design. So maybe just go around her hands like this to make it more realistic. For the girl. I'm gonna make her way bigger ships to be bigger. Right there. Maybe dropping the Mona Lisa a bit. She's sticking out way too much. And I'm going to be filling up these flaws with making a layer mask on her. Saying This doesn't matter because I'm going to be filling up her falls with what do you call it? With the overlays. As I said, we're going to be using a lot of overlays tonight or today if it's day for you and you just twist her. I'm trying to get a perfect posts at the moment. That's what I'm working on. If I'm being too fast, you can do this by myself and just post, tried to hit the right pose. I feel like this is the right post. So I'm going to click on the girl hold Shift and select all of these up. And then put them in a place where I want him to be. Click okay, and right now here I have. What I'm gonna do right now is gone top of anger. And click this right here. Rectangular tool. I'm going to just make this rectangular to right here. I'm going to just drop it right here. I'm gonna go back to this layer mask and I'm going to take the brush tool and I'm just going to remove all of this. And I'm not going to select this by clicking Control and D to deselect a selection. I'm not gonna do that. I'm going to drop another layer above him. Go right here, just colors. Pick a solid color. I went with the red may be a bit softer one. I don't even remember it to be honest. But I'm going to do this color right here. And right now, what I'm gonna do is make a layer mask out on this and make a soft round brush. And with the red, I could just do this. This is exactly what I did. I made it. I made sure that this looks empty right here. As you can tell, it's in perfect shape, but it's empty. Let's remove this right here. Now I'm not going to duplicate all of these. I'm gonna do it an exit oppositely for every single, each of these because they have different phase sizes. Gonna go on the girl, I'm going to select your layer mask, remove this. What I'm gonna do right now is add another layer. Oh, I de-selected it. That was a bad move. I'm going to control undo to bring back the selection, create a layer, and then with the same color, paint it over. I'm going to make Layer Mask now in this red layer. And I'm going to make sure I drop this right here so people can clearly see that there is a selection right here. What I'm gonna do right now for the Mona Lisa is do the same thing. But I'm going to show you how I'm going to separate the colors. Here's how we'll do it. So I'm going to make selection right here. I'm going to do this. Now. You can move this. I'm going to this. Whoops. Okay, so right now I'm going to take the color, actually, let's move it up a bit more. I'm going to take the color and go Layer Mask, remove this. Then I'm going to take the red. Then I'm going to make another layer above her. I'm going to paint the color. But here's the thing. As you can tell. It's messing up the color right here. It's fusing it. Think I'm going to do is make Layer Mask. Let's take black right here. I'm going to make this right here. And on the other side, what I'm gonna do is make another layer above this red, create a clipping mask. And then I'm going to select black. I'm going to make a clean, nice shadow right here, as you can tell, just so I could separate her from this. And this is too sharp. So what I'm gonna do is increase the size of this may be dropping right here. Also you can do is drop the opacity of this layer. And that is how you make this the more realistic separated. And well, it did a big job about this. And the next thing that I wanted to do is work on the text effect that I showed you earlier. What I would advise you to do is keep them organized. Maybe do it like this girl, this Mona Lisa. And then do this. So once you drop particular Exactly with which layers you're working with, you've got to stay organized. Sometimes I'm not organized. I should be, but you should be two. So make sure you work on that. The organization is key to a faster workflow. What I wanna do right now is behind it. I'm gonna go all the way down underneath all of this. Click on it. Select the text click right here, increase it a bit. And I live in. What I did is I used this red, I think the same one live in when I select this text, go right here and let's see which texts did I use? I use this one. The Perry. What I'm gonna do is bring the text in the middle. And I'm going to increase the size of it. And here's another thing you can do. So the way I created that white see-through effect and the text is next, what I'm gonna do is duplicate the text by holding Alt and dragging it up. And I'm going to hold Shift, select it, hold Shift and drag it down. What I'm gonna do right now is apply it. And here's the thing. You're just right-click it, go to Blending Options. And you create a stroke. You need this white stroke. You select how much big you want it to be. Let's say 13 percent. You click okay. And as it is, you go right here underneath opacity, dropped down to fill. The fill is the color that's inside it. And voila, you just made that effect. Do you see an MI previous example? What I'm gonna do is hold Alt, drag this one up again, drop it down, apply it. Then I'm going to click Control and select both of these. Then while they're both selected, duplicate them and drag them down. And it's way easier like this. What I'm going to also do is I think I'm going to chop the text a bit. It doesn't have to be all the way up there. It's not, to be honest. Really is statically pleasing. I can also hold shift and drag it down a bit. I can make it a bit smaller too. And yep. That is where I want it to be. And here's another thing. Right now. What I see is these pieces have really separated colorings and the faded look, you know, so what I'm gonna do is jump down a Mona Lisa, go right here underneath her, click this, and then maybe do some levels on her. This is just testing the shadows. Towns, it's basically all up to you. Your shadows, bring her highlights and she's looking way, way better. I'm going to go up on the girl. I'm gonna do a levels on her to create a clipping mask just so it affects only her and nothing else. Bring this up. And I feel like it looks way, way better. And right now what I wanted to do is add some of the, what do you call it, some overlays. What I'm gonna do is go to my folder where I keep my overlays I have been downloaded. Just remember to keep all of your stuff like and stuff. Make sure you keep them where you can find them and use them whenever you need to. This is really, really useful. So let's see. Let's look for tape. It's not in overlays. Stickers maybe. No. Rip the paper. Was it this now there was tape. Here it is. Yeah. So I will also provide you with a few of these, don't worry, but right now, I just want to see which one would work good. I'm going to drag it up all the way up. And I'm going to take it reapply right here to make it as it's taped. What I wanna do right now to make it more realistic is right there good planning options? Drop a shadow, but not a soft shadow. We're going to make it like really sharp. But the distance is what matters. I'm going to make it up on the piece than a job. The size, maybe bring back the distance, bring back the opacity. And here it's going to look way more realistic as it's been taped. Gonna do this one too, on the other side. Just like this. I'm going to right-click it. Chop the same shadow. It's going to make it look way more realistic. And I feel like these have been used a lot in the street wear. And they're really on their own state, really cool. I understand why people use them. So I would advise you to use them to like, they look pretty cool. Why not? The next thing that I'm going to do is I think we're only left with the rolling left with the overlay. And it looks a bit different than the original base, but right now we're just, I'm just teaching you how to create the overall piece. We don't have to hit it exactly as it is. What I wanna do right now is go back to my palettes that I download it. I'm going to go into overlays. And let's see. We could actually go to textures. What about dust? Dust is really cool. Go up on this. Twisted like this. I go up here during 90 degrees, so it's sitting up and tight. Let's do it like this. And once I've applied it, I'm going to go to here and see if any blending mode could fit it. 12, mostly it's going to be screen. And what I wanna do is go to screen, then drop the opacity of it a bit, and I'm going to drop it underneath the pieces. So it's just going to affect the text and stuff. And what I'm also going to do is create a mask. Start painting around it with a big one, you know, just leave it on the edges. This is what I did with the original patient health. Just like this. And if you feel like it's doing a harsh change, it can just drag down the opacity of it. And this is how I added the glow around it. You can always go back to the white and then retouch it at some parts like this with a smaller capacity and is going to make it look cool. So that's how you work with the overlays that I work with, textures and overlays. We also can do is go up on the girl. And what I wanted to do is maybe add some blood overlays. Blood on. I like to make it to where it is. As some vampires effects in all these little things is what buys the people. Great job capacity. And what I'm gonna do is right-click this clipboard. I'm going to try to warp it up on her mouth. Yeah, that's cool. Click Apply. I'm going to bring back the opacity. I'm going to try to see if there's any blending mode that could help me make it look more realistic. I feel like this darken is doing a good job. We can duplicate this to make it more harsh. Actually wait. First, let's undo that. Work with the first layer. I'm going to create a mask. And I'm going to delete these parts where I feel like you don't need them. As you can tell my go right here to make it look as realistic as possible in a paint all around these bad parts. And right now what we can do is duplicate it to make it look more harsh. And here you go. This is looking way better. I like this detail right here. I did it on the other piece too. And the thing we're left with is to export it as it is, to keep it, to have it like this. And of course, we're going to uncheck the black one. Let me just get all of this into one term design. And what I'm gonna do is go right here, Export, Quick Export as PNG and do 0, 0, 3 PNG. And what I'm gonna do is go back to my folder where I keep my weight, where I keep my what do you call it, the mockups? Mockups. What I'm gonna do is open it, removed the overlay right here. I'm going to click here. I'm going to go up to my designs. I'm going to take the PNG one, take it, drop it in here, and size it to where I want it to be. And if you like it as it is, you can just leave it. What I like to do right now is create a bit of the mask and then, you know, erase some of these edges. So it's not like harsh edge like this, you know. And yeah, so there's a final design on a shirt, on an over-sized baggy shirt, you can do is export this to and you like 0, 0, 3 mockup. So there it is. These are our three designs that we have. I mean, the third design that we did for the shirt. Hope you like it. I hope you learned something new today we'll try to learn something about the overlays and how to work with textures, overlays some text effects, and declared the David creativity overall. So thank you for having me here in our next lesson. I'm not going to be talking much about how to create this and that. I'm going to be teaching you about some creative design stuff overall. And I'm going to have a quiz or a test for you to create something simple to see where you've been up to all this time if you learn something. Thank you for learning with me deserter design. Let's finish our four design as your test, and I will see you in our next lesson. 5. TEST: Finale Test (Test Your Skills), Where To Keep Learning: Hello everyone and welcome to our last lesson of this course. Thank you for learning with me. This has been a big journey. I hope you learn something new. I hope you're satisfied with the course. If you are measures to check some other ones, if you want to keep learning with me, make sure to follow me on Skillshare because I'll be uploading way, way more of these. And the last lesson right here will be about teach you some creative stuff that you should be following when creating a design. So you don't just, so you don't just worry about the aspect of Photoshop itself. It's way more about the creativity. This tools are just tools. It's all in your head. It's all about what you want to make with them, not what they can do for you. And right here we have this simple piece which I did, which a lot of people really, really liked. Some of them like even more than some complex ones which I worked way more on. This was created in simply five minutes. The thing is that this text right here, It's barred from a really catchy song from my country. And it's something like I can trust until I get paid, until I get my money. And the cool thing about it is, is that I put this screen, of course, you know, this picture, this piece RFP scream. His kind of frustrated is screaming and that's why it's like I don't I can't rest until you pay me. I'm frustrated. That's why a lot of people liked it. And plus it's from a catchy song. The text is from a catchy sound. The reason why I'm telling you all this is because it's not about the Photoshop and how long you take for design. It's actually about how creative you can get with it. The thing you that you need to see through before you start creating these designs, before he started selling them is what is your main audience? What is the niche that you're trying to hit? What is the core audience? For example, I was trying to hit the teenagers that are lost, that neat LP life that are basically just flowing through life. And that's why I wanted to create some t-shirts to which they can express themselves. That's exactly what oblivion means. And that's why it's connected to art pieces, because our pieces are, a lot of art pieces are not understood well. And same thing goes with the audience. That's why I wanted to connect all these stuff with them. And that's why I create all of these pieces the way I create them. So you need to know for who you are creating all of these designs for. And then you will create something unique, which they will like. Maybe they'll take you five minutes in Photoshop. Maybe it will take you 20 minutes in Photoshop. You just need to know for who you're creating these artworks for. And notice how I call them artworks instead of the shirt designs. I consider this art. That's why I like doing it. That's why I enjoy it. That's why I'm doing it. So once I explained you all that, here's a test for this episode. As you can tell, I have this piece right here, but what I did on this final piece right here is I use the Vogue text effect. I used R. What do you call it? I use the paragraph text effect right here. What I also did is I removed his eyes and his nose. As you can tell, I've explained that way many times. This is a PNG. But what you can do is make a mask and make this selection look way more sharp. And up on the edge. Add this text scale it. Make sure you add some cool effects if you want you that we've learned throughout the course, It's up to you to make it stylize, to make it up to your personal preferences. And once you finish that, you can drop this file. You can drop the final piece down in the comments section of this lesson, and we can now tell you what we like about it. What you could be changed, what could be done better, or what exactly you did. It didn't fall in the course. So this is basically just for the case of improving yourself. So if you omit to give you feedback on the piece, just make sure drop it in the comments section of this lesson, and that is your test for this lesson. That test is not that hard. I just want to see if you get some of the main things in Photoshop down and if you understood them, if I can help you more with it.
