Transparent Fonts
Transparent Fonts are easily achieved by creating a stroke around the font itself (Edit > Stroke) and then varying the opacity of the typography layer itself by playing with the percentages – just as I showed in my previous post.
Transparency follows Imagination
All layer-based graphic programs – like Photoshop – allow us endless possiblities to play with varying opacities.
While President Barack Obama was just awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace. . . whoever discovered the ‘layer principle’ and made it available to all of us deserves a Genius Prize… I thank that person daily!
This picture here is just another variation of my basic simple “Circle Experiment” – where I started off with a single circle and just added more and more until I ended up with an interesting Graphic Design – this time a mixture between Nostalgia and Grunge sealed in HOT RED and dripping all over :)
I played with filters, transparencies, colours and light adjustments to create more variations… and then I went into extracts and details.
Transparency follows Imagination… and I love being surprised and astonished by it!
Transparent Fonts on Google Top 10
“Transparent Fonts” as a keyword on Google has a whopping 57,3 million returns – and my article from a few hours ago today is on Google Top 10. . . just after Auctiontalklive and Yorgo Nestoridis!
Amazing. . . but not good enough as I cannot take a good screenshot with everything visible at the top plus my post at the bottom of page one, I’m just too far down! Or I need another screen. . . a vertical one HA!!!
The alternative?
Let’s see if we can move up a little and show, once again, the power of Semiomantics XO!
Let me post quickly and you keep your fingers crossed :)
