My Elventh Mistake

How I turned normal images into Polariod pictures.

As I said in my previous post, I am going to blog about the process of how I made normal images to look like Polariod pictures.

I started by cropping the image I wanted to use, into a square and took out all the parts of the image I didn’t want.

I was then left with this image of just the part I wanted.

I then expanded the canvas to add the white boarder around the image. I then extended the bottom height of the image to make it look as if it was a Polaroid picture.

I then dropped a shadow to give it an authentic feel.

Opacity: 38%

Distance: 5px

Spread: 0%

Size: 5px

I then dropped an inner Shadow to give it a bit of colour so it doesn’t look like something that was made in haste is paint.

Opacity: 25%

Distance: 5px

Choke: 0%

Size: 57px

This is the result;

Notice the shading around the image

I then highlighted a part of the image I want to add a glossy finish to.

I then added a slanted text to give the image a bit of the boy’s attitude, and as a reference to a personal joke or them being on tour.

That's all folks!
