In this tutorial we are going to learn you how to change a normal and basic image of a little kid and transform his face so that it appears to be constructed with text with photoshop.There are fifteen easy to follow steps to complete this tutorial and should not take you any longer than 30 minutes to complete.

First we start by opening this Picture of the face of the kid below

We need to firstly resize the image so that it will work better with the parameters being used in this tutorial.
Go to Image > Image Size and apply the following settings:

Now that we have our image resized go to the bottom part of the layers panel and add an Adjustment Layer: Curves.
Click on the icon that is a half black and half white circle, as you can see below.

We now need to merge the Picture and the adjustment layer. Convert the background layer into a normal layer and double click on it and hit OK.
Then select the kid layer and the adjustment layer and press CTRL + ALT + E. You will now have your merged layer.

Add another layer and fill it with black.

Grab the text tool and draw a rectangle that covers the entire image, as you can see below:

Start typing any text anything you want (this tut used Georgia, 8pt). What you need to do is select the paragraph mode to justified-center. Use the one that is selected in the picture below.

Keep on typing until you cover the whole image with text…

Now add a layer mask to this type layer. Hit the icon that is on the bottom of the layers palette, the one that is a rectangle with a circle inside.

Now you need to click on the little eye that you see beside the layers to make the first two layers invisible. Once you do that you should see the kid’s
face only, select that layer. Hit CTRL+ A to select the whole image, and then CTRL + C to copy the kid’s face.

Now, pay atention here. ALT + Click on the layer mask thumbnail.

You will now see that your image has turned to white. Now Hit CTRL + V (or go to Edit > Paste).
And the face of the kid should be pasted on the mask.

What we are seeing now is the mask. If you press ALT and click on the mask layer thumbnail it will give you the chance to modify the mask, not
the image. You can do it any time and to go back to your image just click on any other layer.

Now we need to put all layers visible:

You see, now we’re not seeing the mask anymore. As you can see the text has merged with the original image because of the mask.
Here’s what it looks like:

To make it a little brighter let’s duplicate the type layer and lower the opacity to 46%:

This is the final result.
Hope you’ve enjoyed it
