(42,770 posts)Just take a real pic download, bring it into Photoshop and manipulate? It would be fun. Is Photoshop expensive to purchase? I'd like to do campaign ads for Twitter.

(3,471 posts)I started with the original picture, copied sections of the sign's black background with "feathering" (basically, a fuzzy border that gradually gets more transparent at the edge), layered them over the letters while lining up the "grain" (the subtle horizontal stripe patterns), and repeated until all the original lettering was replaced with sign background. (Tip: Duplicate the layer with the original pic and work from the duplicate. I needed to go back to the original pic layer to copy Tweetolini's arm and paste it onto a top layer when part of it accidentally got deleted.)
I used Paint Shop Pro 2020 (currently on sale at $63.99). There are free software alternatives like GIMP and Paint.Net that have all the tools you'd need for something like this (though the user interfaces are clunkier IMO).
