Obama Inspired Save the Date Cards
I am no expert in Adobe Photoshop CS but inspired by the
Obama Hope designs by
Shepard Fairey , I thought I would give
it a shot.
Step one
I chose digital photographs where the background was relatively
distinguishable from our heads. It helps if the photographs are full quality.
Tip: don't work with a small image -- I tried that and it sucks.
Step two
I opened up those photos in Adobe Photoshop. I went to Filters-->Artistic-->Cutout. I chose 4 Levels because I eventually wanted to have four colors in my save-the-dates -- like Obama's hope posters. But if you want to have more or less colors, you can adjust the levels as needed. I fiddled with the Edge Simplicity sliding bar and Edge Fidelity bar until it looked about right. There wasn't really a method to this madness.
Step three
I used the Fill option (the little paint bucket) to color the "cutout" version of the photo. The picture part is done!
Step four
I wrote
HOPE
you save the date
and voila -- we have some
patriotic save-the-dates for our 4th of July wedding.
