Would you like to create a logo for your website or your business starting from the photo of a loved one? I know, this way it seems an extremely complicated operation to the exclusive prerogative of those who work in the graphics sector, but in reality it is very simple. Just use the always useful Photoshop.
If you have Photoshop installed on your computer, all you have to do is open it, choose the photo from which to create your stylized logo and follow the instructions below. In no time at all, I assure you that you too will learn how to stylize a photo with Photoshop… You will marvel at how simple it is!
If you want to learn how to stylize a photo with Photoshop, the first step you have to take is to start the program and import the image to be used as the basis of your future logo (by selecting the item apri from the menu Fillet). Try to choose a photo that is not too blurry and of good quality, sharp, with well-defined edges.
Once the image is open, you need to convert it to black and white (if it isn't already). To do this, select the item Bianco e nero from the menu Image> Adjustments Photoshop and click the button OK present in the window that opens. Afterwards, go back to the menu Image> Adjustments, select the voice Brightness / Contrast and adjusts the brightness and contrast of the photo almost to the maximum (so that the subject to be styled appears with very defined outlines and sufficiently “detached” from the background).
Now, select the tool Burn from the toolbar located in the left sidebar and continue to stylize a photo with Photoshop going to "burn" the subject of the image in such a way that its edges become even more defined. To make this step more effective, set theinterval of the tool burns up ombre and the level of exposure on 50%. Find all the values to adjust at the top of the Photoshop window. If you can't find the burn tool in the program toolbar, right click on the tool fencing or sponge and select it from the menu that appears.
After increasing the visibility of the edges in the image, go to the menu Filter Photoshop and select the item Stylization> Diffuse. In the window that opens, put the check mark next to the option Anisotropo and click on the button OK per salvare i Cambiomenti.
As a finishing move to make your photo stylized, go to the menu Image> Adjustments Photoshop and select the item Shop by Department. In the window that opens, move the indicator of the threshold point on a value between 150 e 200 (help yourself with the preview in real time) and click on the button OK but I will complete the operation.
By now, you should be able to get a stylized photo to use in logos or other graphic projects. To get rid of any imperfections, you can use the tool brush with white color or crop the subject using the tool cutter. Finally, select the item Save with name from the menu Fillet and save the final result in the file format of your choice.
