CREATE A SILHOUETTE for a custom design Many
CREATE A SILHOUETTE for a custom design Many advertising layouts are designed with a silhouetted person or object against a plain, colored background. You can easily create a similar design by making a selection in a photograph and using that selection in a background document. The silhouette design can be very effective, not only as an advertising piece but also as a business card, a greeting card, a postcard, or an original logo. Not all objects in a photograph can be used as a silhouette. The subject needs to have a detailed enough shape when contrasted against a background to not only stand out but also be recognizable. People or objects that are angled or positioned parallel to the plane of the photograph often work best. The size of the object is not important because you can transform and resize the silhouetted item to fit your design. You can use just one silhouette or combine any number of objects from various photos and place these on any colored background. Just add some text to complete the design. 55 66 44 77 88 99 00 33 Photos 2007 www.photospin.com 132 1 Open the photos with the objects for the silhouettes and a new blank document with the width, height, and resolution set for the custom layout. 2 Press D to set the foreground color to black. 3 Click the Quick Select tool. l Optionally, you can click the Lasso tool to select the subject. 4 Click and drag a detailed selection around the subject as in Task #16. 5 Press +J (Ctrl+J) to put the selected area on its own layer. 6 Press (Ctrl) and click the Layer 1 thumbnail to target the selection. 7 Press Option+Delete (Alt+Backspace) to fill the selection with black. 8 Repeat steps 3 to 7 for any additional photos. 9 Click the blank document to select it. 0 Click the foreground color in the toolbox.
