# still think
the Kurt Cobain is the best one I've done though, even though he's nowhere near as much of an icon as her Madge.

I did 2 others for Kurt that I've posted elsewhere. Let me know if you want to see them. Neither are as good as the one posted here though :(

# surely you should be happy for the on that is good rather than vice versa :P
i suppose the outcomemajoritively depends on the quality of the source pic
(, Sat 27 Sep 2008, 23:03, archived)
# Yep
but the one of the others has it's merits as well. It's just not quite as good. However, it is another instantly recognisable image if you are familiar with Monsieur Cobain :)

In other news, somebody asked me about the process involved in generating these images. I'm only too happy to share, since I nicked the basic process from elsewhere!

Take an image
Paste 4 or 5 layers of text (the lyrics) onto that image as seperate layers
Change each layer of text to have a different shade of black
Rasterize each text layer
Hide all the text layers and go to the original image layer
Use the "select colour" tool to mask an area of colour that you pick - doesn't have to be exactly the same shade as the layer of text . You then pick a 'range' to select similar shades to that colour.
Now invert that mask.
Go to the layer corresponding to that shade and delete. That wipes out all the text in the areas that aren't the shade you want.
Repeat for the other shades.
Then it's quite a bit of tweaking and fine tuning with the brightness levels to get it looking as perfect as you can make it
Finally, if necessary, add a fresh layer just below the first text layer, and fill it with a shade of grey to finish the picture off. This works very well with light background colour images, like the Bonio one

That's it really.
Takes quite a while to get the lyrics into a text file, but then that is run through a custom app my brother quickly wrote for me. This places a '/' symbol at the end of each line and then strips out all the carriage-returns. This saves me all the text editing

So, just to clarify something, there is NOTHING of the original image in the end result. Some peeps have mentioned "clipping mask" where, I believe, transparency is used. However, that picks up the shades from the original image. Mine are trying to be more stylised, hence the method I am using and they have nothing but the 'feel' of the original image :)

# your being a little o emphatic with this whole theres non of the original image thing

but I started the whole thing, in my head, as "music icons" and, there is no denying, that she is a modern music icon. Like her music or not, everybody has heard of her.

Hopefully, the picture does her justice and is instantly recognisable. It's difficult pinning down an artist like this (as with Bowie), as their style changes with the mood of the times. My newest shop assistant only recognised the Bowie image by the hair style and the 'ziggy' face paint :o
