Geek Lab: My Friend

Hello everyone! It’s Elisabetta here today to show you a new layout with the August Kit 🙂 I took this selfie with a friend in Naples this spring and I wanted to add a Neapolitan touch to it!

Naples is very famous, among other things, also for its music, so I decided to include the lyrics of a Neapolitan song in the layout! 🙂

I simply taped the lyrics on my computer and printed them on my white paper and that’s it! I used the font “American Typewriter” because I really like how it looks 🙂

I just added a few embellishments and that’s it! I really like how the lyrics look on the page and I like the fact that you immediatly understand where this picture was taken (at least if you’re italian :P)

Geek Lab:

Good day to all! I have heard from quite a few of my friends recently asking me what’s the best way to add text into my photos or edit them, so I thought I would share some tips! Basically, I am almost a computer/IT idiot that’s why Photoshop is too difficult for me (though I know everything can be done through it). I, however, edit almost all my photos through PicMonkey because it’s FREE!

Here’s how: Click on the link and it will direct you to the page as shown below.

Then, open a file and upload it. Then you may crop it to Instagram square sizes (though we finally no longer need to) or any dimension you want. I like to play around with the exposure to add brightness to the photo, sharpen it a little and even adjust the temperature of the photo (warm or colder).

Then to add text to your photo, simply click on add text. The best part is that even your own collection of fonts may be found under the “Yours” section. Do note that those with a crown sign beside it requires extra charges.

After playing around with the text, here’s how it looks like:

Then click save. I like to save the photo quality as sean but if you are concern about the photo sizes, then there are 3 options to choose from.

Then finally, have it printed out and here’s my layout with the hello lovely collection!:D
