Type can be a great way to create eye catching designs with a very strong message delivery. So in this video we'll go through some creative typographic ideas and how to apply them. So in front of us guys, we have a Mikey poster with their famous slogan, just do it. If you are a Nike fan probably will be enjoying that one. And for ideas, guys, don't worry guys, I've got you covered with another design. However, it can be easily interacting characters with our design elements.

So let's go through our layers and see how it can be creating that effect. As usually starting was our original layer pressing alter option key to only show that background layer. And this way it all started from guys. You will find that image in your resources where you can be starting from scratch. I took that Happy Shopping god and i enlarge that one a bit. So showing all the layers Moving to background copy, I made a quick selection and move him to another layer.

So we have an empty background like that one. Here, use the clone stamp tool to get a clean and white clear sky. Then I rescaled and reposition our guide in that layer, and also increasing scale a bit as it's our main elements within that image. Then I created a quick selection mosque out of that guide, you can be doing the same step by pressing Command or Ctrl and clicking on your layers thumbnail to get a selection then you can be selecting create a mosque, to have that mosque in here where we can be applying the same mosque on our site. So let's deselect that selection pressing Command or Control D. And let's select do and as you can see guys, we have the same mask applied on our type layer. Then you can be using your Brush Tool to show or hide support.

Few type to create that interlocking effect. So let's zoom in a bit. Here we can be selecting or mosque, selecting our brush tool, pressing B and reducing brush size. In that case, probably we'll be using a hard brush. So let's increase hardness for that one. pressing Shift and right square bracket reducing pore size once again.

Now let's say for instance, we need to get the Choose behind all letter, we can be simply painting over these areas just to hide the shows and make it behind all and as usually can be revealing a part swabbing columns pressing X to bring plaque in for crown and you can be revealing his feet maybe not like that. Let's do that. I'm going to be using opacity for that layer. So can see what we are revealing better using precise and let me disable public pressure Now can be bringing a bestie once again, back. Of course, you can be swabbing colors again to gain any of these white areas back to our old letter. And that's basically how you can be creating an interlocking effect using either characters or even regular shapes.

So let me undo that because I didn't want to reveal supports zooming out and the same technique applies here as well just worth and of course guys, you can keep taking care of your details. Either enhancing your masking for that guy or even applying drop shadow on your letters to make it more realistic. And finally, you can be applying color lookup on top all these layers, just like that one to add that mode and theme to Design and get our elements to lend better within our image. And now let's go and discover another creative application for the other competitor. This one goes out for Adidas fans at challenging uncompetitive design, including the challenging expression combined with the letter for PETA towards beated. As you can see if hopefully you can see that one guy and we have it on top of that one, I tried to match them both with the same color and get them also on the same line.

So you will find the challenging guys image in your sources and you will find it like that. You can be using Quick Selection Tool to quickly select are gone. Or you can be moving the entire image to your design file where you can start your designs a huge bolt be letter so can check that one out in here. Scrolling down We have that B letter, word can be pressing Option or Alt to show only the clear. Then I created a selection out of that letter and applied that one as a mosque, that guy's image. So let's hide that layer, pressing ALT option key.

And let's only discover that layer. So here we have the B letter is masking. All right, then I adjusted that mask, revealing the face of our guy from mouth to forehead, and extending our mask all the way to here too much was being uttered. So let me first disable our mask. So you can imagine how it looks like pressing Shift and clicking almost, is how it looks like without masking. And of course also I used our V letter once again on top of that layer, after rasterizing the clear to remove some parts and reveal his face.

So let's reveal our layers first, and let's check that out. choice B letter, you can be using a sub tool to reveal support and also our extended support of P letter by creating a selection on the top area and duplicate it in here, we can check that one in that layer, a very simple black square, just to give it some more height to our letter, then you can be the creating your design was more tired maybe or a slogan. And that's basically how you can be combining letters and shapes, discovering even more creative ideas moving to that file. That one actually from Illustrator. Of course, if you already took that one you will be familiar with that debate, where we have been liquefying our type using liquify tools. And the same concept actually applies also in Photoshop, converting your type to a smart object or stylize your type.

By applying liquify filter you can start melting or liquefying your type. And I guess you You know how do that guys?
