Description I have seen this done a few times now, playing with the letter tiles from games such as Scrabble, so I wanted to give it a go, with my own perspective, and here is the result.

I'm pretty sure you faked the mist effect in PS, but it's still pretty good. What does bother me though is the half circle (bleak reddish thingie) next to the Y. Kinda kills the entire image for me. Comp's good, concept too...shame about the thing - you can easily remove that in PS. Do it and I'll comment again later

Thanks for your insight. I se what your talking about now. I hadn't seen that before now. I suppose I'll get round to sorting that at some time.

and yes I used PS to mimic the mist effect.

So simple yet so clever! Are those word up tiles, my gram had that game back in the day before i could even spell, i would just build towers...back on topic...It is very white, but i dunno i tihnk it the tiles were more of a white it might work, mabey even a black bored instead might help all the white. But either way, great job

if you want the deep balck colour in the tiles then you shoudl goto Image=> adjustments=>Levels and drag the black trigangle on the left side of the top graph further towards the right, this is the blackpoint it defines the level at which a pixel is defined as being perfectly black the further to the right it is the more pixels will be classified as 'Black' it will show up some minor imperfections in how you have masked out the backgound so i will need touching up.

Thanks. Yeah. Good idea. It might work well as the main background to a movie poster. Hmm. In fact, I may even have to work with that.....Thanks for that. If I do submit something, you'll get a mention

The way you laid them out and the fading fit this image just right. Good job man.

*blinks*

People say more contrast, but the title itself should tell you that there's not going to be much in the way of definite figures.

Even though you can clearly make out the tiles, it still fits the title. It looks nice, the tiles spell Misty... and it gets mistier as it goes to the back... yup, cleverness.

I like it

bigdavec In reply to Iwon1 [2004-03-06 21:55:16 +0000 UTC]

Hehe. aye. Thanks for your in-depth analysis. Much appreciated . I thought that the contrast was quite important as it is in the picture to give the feel of mistiness

maybe a little contrast would have been nice?but again, one could interpret the picture as being done this way.

Yeah, personally I like it like this, gives it the atmosphere I was looking for. Thanks for commenting though. I appreciate your honesty.

Awesome, man! I love the crookedness of the letters, and how they fade off.

Sorta like they're trying to tempt you into following them through the viel of mist. I like it, I like it.

Misty hmm? Interesting. I think it needs more contrast..

bigdavec In reply to EsotericComposer [2004-03-04 19:07:16 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, it does, agreed. But the thing is, it wasn't giving me blackish tones, but more like Creamy ugly grey tones, when i turned up the contrast. I'm going to keep playing and see what happens
