Phototype/How to use text in Photoshop

In this session with Oli we were shown how to add different effects to type and how to make 'type mask'  so we could place an image in the text.

We used Adobe Photoshop program. To add different effects to a type first we have to create a new layer with type on in, then with double clicking on the layer it opens a window with different 'Layer styles' , from there we could add whatever effect we want. we could play around with ''Drop shadow'' to add shadow to the type, contures, textures, etc. We were also shown how to warp text by going to ''type -> warp text'' that opens a window with different styles of warp. 

how to warp text 

warp text: Arc style

warp text: Arc Lower style

warp text: Flag style 

To add image to text we had to choose an image we want to place in the text, then with Horizontal to Vertical Mask Tool, type the text inside the image, then create new layer,  Click on ''Edit -> Copy merged -> Edit -> Paste'' that paste the text with the image in it on the new layer. here's a simple example: 

Vertical Typing mask ''Love''

Final result 

Here are some of the work I did in college:

Here I used as image in text the 9 planet surfaces. For each planet I made new layer, then I ''Multiply'' some of the layers, and on some of the word I changed the ''Transparency'' 

Basically I experimented with different things, just to see how they work
