Text in images

A photo I incorporated text in

Inspired by Jim Goldberg and Barbra Kruger's incorporation of text in photographs, I used Adobe Photoshop to add text in this photo and I played around the effects and warping. As an example, here is how I put "STOP!" into my photograph. To do this I chose the Text tool. Once selected, I typed in the word I wanted, in this case "STOP!" using a stencil font. Once the text was added, it was time to style it. To do this I went to the layer palette , whilst the text layer was still selected, chose the 'fx' icon to add a layer style:

From here, I clicked on 'Blending Options...' to see the wide variations of styles available. A small window came up with showed specific styles:

Here is how the text appears after choosing my styles.

Finished with styling, I warped the text whilst still selected on the text layer. For "GO!", I just duplicated the "STOP!" layer and changed the colour of the font.
