PART III [Adding texts and Changing Background]

Hello girls (I don’t think any boy exists in our club :P)

Iti is back with another lesson of প্রতীকী making. So today I will tell আপনি how to change background of an image (while making icon) and adding texts to it. So, I will start the main problem that occurs during changing background, for beginners.

While changing background one need to know which tool is perfect. So here we start.

Steps

1.    Open a picture.

2.    Now click on “magic wand” and select the area আপনি want to remove. For this আপনি can click on “add” in the above box, where আপনি can see which tool আপনি selected. অথবা directly press “cntrl + shift” and keep pressing it.

3.     When you’ll select the places, press “delete” button. And the required area will get deleted.

4.    Remember don’t deselect the area.

5.    Now use paint brush to color the required area in any color আপনি want.

6.    You can add the shade of dark color in borders (remember in পূর্ববর্তি প্রবন্ধ I told আপনি how to do it? If not আপনি can read it again)

7.    Now আপনি can add “soft edge dots” as I told আপনি how, in পূর্ববর্তি chapters.

8.    If আপনি have problem in selecting any area আপনি can also use Lasso tool, it really helps.




Now as আপনি know how to change background I will tell আপনি how to add texts.

Steps for adding texts


1.    You need to download beautiful fonts first. আপনি can download them from link

2.    Now, go to the প্রতীকী আপনি prepared and click on “T” button which means text. Write down whatever আপনি want to.

3.    Press “Cntrl + T” together and আপনি and you’ll be able to resize it and place it where ever আপনি want, আপনি can also turn it around.

4.    If আপনি use Photoshop, then open Layer box.

5.    Click on “f” button in bottom of layer box. And then follow what’s written below

Click on “f” -> Drop Shadow -> adjust opacity and spread shadow

6.    This will give a touch to আপনি icon.

7.    G o to “Layer” on the শীর্ষ it’s in the same box from where আপনি see “File”, “Edit” etc.

8.    Click on option “Merge Visible.
