[GRAPHICS] Tutorial: Angst/Romance Poster
So I decided to maybe do some graphics tutorial since I won't be posting about Blogilates anymore... Let's get started!
I use Photoshop CS, so if you have anything higher than that, you're in luck!
I am going to use these two pictures of Kim Ye Rim and Choi Minho.
The trick for angst/romantic posters is to blend using a layer mask, and either desaturate the pictures, or using a dark texture.
1. Open photoshop and load your pictures.
2. Then load your background. You can use a black one, or any relatively dark background. I am using this one.
3. Resize your background to 1000x667 (widthxheight) and drag Ye Rim and Min Ho to the background. It does not matter who gets dragged first because you will blend them later on.
4. Create a layer mask for both characters. Then erase their background until you get something like this. Set your paintbrush to 90 (range) and 0 hardness.
5. From here, you can desaturate them or not, but to give the feel of angst (because I think both of them are way too bright), I will desaturate them. To do so, click on each picture layer and go to Image>Adjustments>Desaturate.
6. Then open these textures and do as follows.
Mode:Linear Burn Opacity: 55
Mode: Screen Opacity: 40
Mode: Overlay Opacity: 35
It should look something like this:
7. Now for the text. From now on, you can add whatever text you prefer, but since this is a poster for a graphics contest I am entering, I am going to add my title, and credits.

#ThisIsMyJuly Day 30/31
Today's the last day of July! I'm in a bittersweet mood with Blogilates right now..however, today made up for it. I went to a lot of places today with le sexy new iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S4!! The phones came in the mail yesterday and I've been experimenting with them all day long~
And I returned to Twitter... haha. Link EXO's Growl dance version came out today, and I was spazzing when it uploaded. THOSE HOT MEN. UGH RUINING MY LIFE AND MY WALLET.
I just saw some previews of the album and wow. It's really amazing. The structure, cd, photobook, wow. Just wow.
I have something to say too... Um.. Since school will be starting in 15 days, I don't think I will have time to update every day like this. I get home late, and then I would have about 3 hours to eat and do more homework... Perhaps I won't even have time to do Cassey's daily workouts! But I know I will somehow put some cardio in there.
I am getting some cardio and arm workouts from a tennis class at school, so it's not like I'm giving up working out... So this might be the last time I'm going to post here for a LOOOOOOOOONG time. Although I will be active as a reviewer here: senseiempanda
Anyways, it's bittersweet.. If anything, you still want to follow me, be my friend (I don't know why you would though. I'm such a loser:( ), you can contact me at any of the following sites (with links)

And no Facebook. Haha. That's too personal. :P
After I post my pictures, I'll go back through my June and July posts and see how I developed...
Nothing really physically changed about me, except maybe a little of fat was shed off? Just a little. I definitely gained weight from the muscle ohmergad. And I've been only drinking water and hating other drinks ew. Eating food wise, I've definitely made more healthy choices.
