3 new tags

Yesterday when trying to decide what to do next I thought I would make a new tag. Well, that changed from me making 1 tag to 3. Most of the time when I start making a tag I will stop after making that one, but for some reason I knew exactly what tags I wanted to make and with what graphics too. I had been looking through all the graphics that I had recently made and came across a few that I thought would make some great looking tags.

Now, one of the graphics needed to have the background removed and so I decided to send it through the AI background remover generator. Well, it did a really crappy job of removing the background so I ended up having to do it myself and I’m pretty happy with the result. It was a really pretty fairy and everything was great except for her feet because they had some flowers sticking on top of them and after removing the flowers the feet came out kind of choppy looking, so instead of trying to paint her feet back on, I decided to place another flower over them in the tag and it worked out okay, even though you can still see her feet, lol.

I think that’s one of the things we always overlook when creating with graphics sometimes. Instead of trying so hard to fix the graphic (which doesn’t always work out like we planned) we can just place something on top of it which is a really quick fix. Anyway, that’s what I decided to do and it looks just fine IMHO.

So, this first tag was created using 2 graphics that I made. A few years ago I made a tag that I really liked using a PTU artist tube and wanted to see if I could make something similar with the same theme. So, that’s what I did and I really like how it turned out. Of course it’s a rather simple looking tag but I do like the simplicity of it. It showcases the graphics and that was what I was going for anyway, lol.

Now, this second tag was using the fairy graphic I made and the one I told you about in the paragraph above. I really like how this tag turned out and even though it wasn’t easy getting the background removed from her, I think it turned out alright in the end.

And finally this last tag was created using 3 of the fashion ladies I mentioned in a prior post about the platinum blonde hair fashion graphics. Now, I wanted to use only 1 graphic but couldn’t decide which one I liked the best so instead of choosing only one I thought, why not just use all 3 of them?

So, that’s what I did and I really love how it turned out. I was smart enough when I was creating these graphics to use a white background so I could remove it more easily later when making a new tag. I only wish I would have thought about that when I was making all those fairy graphics, lol. Oh well.

Love Doodles

I love drawing doodles and thought I would see what I could make out of some doodle type flowers. I had a lot of fun seeing all the different doodle flowers I could come up with so I decided to use one of those doodles flowers to make a tag and I really like how it turned out. I used some of the backgrounds that I made recently that also match the same colors of the tag. And when I usually create a tag I almost always use only one layer mask for the background. However, for this particular tag I went with 2 different backgrounds. I really like how it turned out and I hope you like the tag as much as I had fun making it.

Anyway, thanks for stopping by and hugs,

About Fonts

When creating tags I always make sure to use the right font. Now, this can be tricky at times when you have a rather large assortment of fonts to choose from. As a retired web designer / graphic artist, I have collected many font’s over the years either by purchasing them in bulk for my design work or for everyday use. I have so many fonts in fact that I had to burn some to CD’s because they were using so much space on my computer.

When doing any creative work, I always try to use the best font. Any designer who creates graphics for clients knows that using the best font for your design is critical. And you would think that using a font wouldn’t matter that much, but it DOES. For example, if you were creating some serious art work you wouldn’t want to use a cartoon looking font on it, now would you? Nope, it really does make a difference what font you use.

And if you’re not a designer but enjoy making graphics for others or for yourself and need a good font to use then you’ll be glad to know that there are many places online to download fonts. Here are a few links to font sites that offer free fonts. However, most do come with a terms of use so you may want to be sure to use them accordingly.

Anyway, thanks for stopping by and hugs, Mod Girl
