Rather than take my own photo for it I decided it would be best to search the internet for a birds eye view of the yard because i figured that would be the best type of photo to use.
Now this would be my very first attempt at making a postcard, ever.
As you can see it is very poor indeed. I put this down to the fact the image I chose was not the best and because I hadn't used any fancy photoshop effects.
So after that attempt I sat myself down and had another go using a different image. I used the same font as before (Brush Script Std) for the text and also had a look around photoshop to see what I could do. I messed around with layers that were just a block of colour and changing the opacity and I also looked at some layer effects and filters. And this image below would be the final product.
I will start by describing the effects I used on the text. I used a layer effect called outer glow and also stroke. Stroke is where you can add an outline to something so i went for black to help it stand out better. I used outer glow to give it that sort of postcardy type look. As for the image itself all I did was mess around with a layer that was blue and changed the opacity.
So thats it, the story of the postcard. Its not quite futuristic with like neon lights and floating stuff but I think in 10/20 years time this is pretty much how the yard will look. I know its pretty much the same but I cannot see any dramatic changes being made. Also it will more than likely be maintained to keep it looking good so therefore I reckon it will look almost the same. However I must admit if I had the skill set to add floating things I definitely would have done so.
