Wednesday-Friday--
**Crazy Text Photoshop Project ** For this project, you are to create an image using only text that accomplishes one of the following:


 * Create a theme based image—perhaps a favorite quote, book, holiday, seasons, patriotic, etc.
 * Create a personality image—illustrating your personality, emotions, likes, family, friends, etc.


 * The big rule? ** No images! No clipart, no photos, no pictures! You may embellish the finished product using custom brushes. Patterns, gradients, and layer fills are acceptable. Clipping masks are allowed (you can put a photo inside text!) in text. You may also utilize line art (non‐filled in images, personal drawing, or you can draw with the pencil/brush/pen tool).


 * HOWEVER ** …you are allowed to use shapes. Feel free to use brushes and shapes to help “finish” the picture. But, the focus should be on using text in shapes, as shapes, and to portray a specific message/theme.

Suggestion: This should look like a cohesive project when finished, not just random text on a background. You may wish to find images to put in the background while you are working to use as a pattern or model for your setup. Be creative!
