Rubbish

For our first assignment we were to create a font using rubbish.

I brainstormed on what rubbish meant to me.

The first thing that came to mind was that it was suffocating our world.

My initial idea was to create the imagery of a world suffocating and strangled in rubbish along with the text 'our world is suffocating'.

I'm really very, very new to photoshop and soon realized that creating that imagery was quite out of my depth.

My then decided to fill the 'suffocating' text with rubbish that I'd taken photo's with my mac.

I drew an image of the world for the back ground and dropped that in over the notepad page layer. I added the the text, remembering to create two layers so that the rubbish imagery would fill just the 'suffocating' text. 

I then brought in the rubbish imagery and added a 'create clipping mask' layer so that it would fill through the text.

Overall, I'm not very content with my finished product. This is largely due to my inapt skills of photoshop. I look forward to learning how to use photoshop more effectively so that I can produce and manipulate an artwork that relates more closely to my original idea.
