Today's Lesson: Printing Text on Photos
One of the easiest ways to turn an amazing photo into a full layout, is through adding text directly on top of any "white space" areas. Putting text onto a photo can help save on space, can create visual interest, and can simply capitalize on any blank areas in the photo itself. In today's lesson, I'm going to show you just how easy it is to add text on your photos. As a bonus, I'm also showing you how I download + install free fonts on my computer for use in the Photoshop program. Join in today and let's tell our stories on our photos.
Homework: Practice adding text onto a photo. Specifically:
1. Add a journaling block to a photo with a large amount of white space.
2. Design a scrapbook layout using text printed on a photo.
3. Is there a font you've been dying to install? Try installing the new font this week.
