LYRICS
DIRECTIONS:
Combine one of your favorite songs (lyrics & song title) with a large photo of the musician. You decide on what manipulations or changes you want to make in the photo.
The song lyrics should be repeated, covering the entire photo, and the song title should also be included.
Find the song lyrics on the web then Copy and Paste them.
In Photoshop, select the Type tool. Click in the image, holding down the mouse button and draw a big box covering the entire photo. Edit Menu > Paste over and over again until the lyrics fills the entire image.
You can change the font, color, size, etc. of this text.
Remember to use the layer blending modes (overlay, screen, color, etc.) to change the look of images, colors, text that are layered in the Layers Palette. The example above uses these Layer Blend Mode changes.
Think, be creative, and try techniques we have already done or explore things in the program we have not looked at yet.
