Text tools

Last tools for my final output is "Text Tools".

At first I decided to choose the "Fish Eye Lens font" but then I thought it does not suit my Wallpaper because it is not easy to read. Besides that, my background does not suit either. 

I decided to download a rare and simple font for my Text Tools. That is why I downloaded a new font from the internet which is called " Aamunkoi ". The" Aamunkoi " font was not given in the software so I have to download it manually from the internet.

After I used "Aamunkoi" font , I decided to use "poster Edges Tools" and adjust a little bit of the thickness.

The Tools for my final E-Wallpaper Festivals

For this picture, I combine 2 pictures from my recent research below.

I used many layers and I also use some tools such as quick selection tools and crop tools.

As you can see on the right side, I also adjust from the "adjustment" tools to balance off the color. 

 For both of this images , I name it as "green" at the layers side 

because I think it is more to green at last. 

I use quick selection tools to cut this picture.

I also change the layer style .

I selected "Drop Shadow" , "Bland Clip Layers as Group", and "Transparency Shapes Layer".

I also control the brightness/contrasts tools, Levels , Feather , Channels , and many more.

These picture were taken on the colorful festival of Holi.
The festival of Holi is celebrated on the day after the full moon in early March every year.
It is also called the Festival of Colours.
On this day people Throw colors at each other.
This festival occurs at the onset of spring.
It is India’s most celebrated festival along with Diwali.”

 If you have never been to India, photographer Poras Chaudhary can show you the way to its heart. I have just discovered his photos and am blown away by the beauty and color that fill each frame. Many of the photos shown here are a documentation of Holi, also called the Festival of Colors, a popular Hindu spring festival observed in India, Nepal,Bangladesh. During this holiday everyone is suppose to wear white and throw themselves in colored powder which dies their clothes, skin and anything it touches. Note to self : best vacation to take your kids on!

Despite the lack of opportunities and the restrictions of a small village Poras Chaudhary, found a way to touch the world, when he started taking photographs in 2005. Documenting his life in Kurukshetra, the northern part of India, he brought us images of a culture full of color and tradition.
