Working with Text

I used an image the cloned it to fit in the size. Then I put my text over it.There is also a color overlay. I also added an outer glow to the text.

I cut the background image out of an existing photo. Then I put a style overlay at 50% opacitiy. Then I wrote some text over it.

I took a piece of another picture and cut and pasted the same image until it fit the size I wanted. I then overlayed that image with a layer of white at a low opacity. Then I put text over it. The text has a drop shadow and a texture. It is also shaped.

This is a lavender gradient over a blue background. I then put a qute over it. I arched the text and messed with the character spacing before I decided on this version.

I put my name in different fonts over a styled backgroung. I also put different glows and patterns on them. I also played with the shaping of the text.

This is my favorite poem over a gradient. I warped the text with the flag style. Then I played with the components.
