Making Typographic Images:
In this tutorial from PSDTOP Blog, you can make a typographic image from a photo using Photoshop techniques. The effect looks best on images with good contrast and light backgrounds, but you can easily adjust the contrast and background using Photoshop. I used these techniques to modify an image of my guitar below.
My last photoshop tutorial post was just 3 easy steps. This one will take a bit more time and effort but the results can be pretty cool as seen above. As with any tutorial, play with the techniques yourself and through trial and error of your own you will find the desired effect that you want.
