Congratulations on Finishing This Tutorial!

We have covered an interesting skill for putting together typography poster that interacts with an image. Today we’ve learned to:

  • Use Layer Masks to hide and reveal parts of an image.
  • Use Adjustment Layers to add Brightness/Contrast to an image.
  • Format typography and use it in different directions to interact with the image.
  • Use the image’s levels of focus to our advantage to create a poster with depth.
  • Use Effects layers to add drop shadows to a text layer to create depth of field.
