Collage Dark vs Light (Photoshop)

Dark vs Light Collage

To do this collage I took the perspective of light and dark in a way of good moments for the light and bad moments for the dark, in lifetime episodes.

I started with the background image by choosing two images which describe light and dark in the perspective that I decided to do my collage on. I wanted to have one image from both, which will be divided across from corner to corner. To do so I used the Pen Tool; I created three points covering a corner of the image and then went across half of the image. After this I right clicked on the selected part and clicked on Create Vector Mask so the image will remove the other half and keeps the part I covered with the pen tool. I repeated the same thing to the other image and after I combined them together, I merged the layers together to become as a one image.

When the background image was ready I chose two different fonts in a way that they contrast with the actual word. I chose the Rage Italic font type for the Light because it is a handwritten type it creates certain flow in the wording, while for the dark I chose the Narkisim font type because it is a solid and a bit bold which make a good contrast for the wording.

After this, I started inputting the images. For the light side images I used the Magic Wand Tool and the Quick Selection Tool to remove the background of certain images. I used the Lasso Tool to cut a part of an image, and also for the same reason I have chosen the Elliptical Marquee Tool to cut the image in a shape type. For the dark side images I used the Eraser Tool in a way to fade the edges of the images and I made an image Black and White as it was in colour to keep the side on the dark.
