Image Design Idea: How to?

[Well Hello]

Hi,

I want to create a larger letter "J" as an image.

I want the background to be a picture but the rest of the picture doesnt show unless it is involved in the J.

Any ideas?

I'm not sure this is business but a photoshop forum might be better.

Anyway from what I can gather you want a letter J inside the J is the backround image anything outside it is blank?

If so then you can create a mask by using the select tool on the j invert the selection, select the background and apply the mask.

TaDa!

BTW do you have photoshop?

 

[Well Hello]

Hi Arfurd or anyone,

Do any of you have a tutorial to teach me to do this?

DO you have an example image to show us?

I'm still lost as to what you want :-/

It'd involve using masks, or at least layers. Make the giant J on one layer, put the background photo on the layer below it. Then select the J shape, invert the selection and delete that part from the background layer. Turn off the visibility on the J layer and you should have your J with the photo you want inside it.

I think that's what you meant anyway. Would suggest going to a graphics forum, someone there might do it for you (I would of but I'm not near the computer!).

If you have MS Word, go to Word Art, type J, then fill with a photo

Well my needs may be different to the OP's Requirements.

But..

What i want is to have a background say "A Ship", then i can create a "Square" over it.

The background will dispear apart from the part where the square is. Efficitivly i will have a square with a background of part of a ship.

Purely examples by the way lol.

Thanks.

Any tutorials would be greatly welcome
