Day 4 - Creating an outro (1/2)

What I did : 

       So, today in my spare, I created half of an outro. I knew this would take a while because of there is a lot of stuff that I could put in it. So, I only ended up finishing half of it. This outro matches my colour scheme that I would  like my channel to have  which is a light purple/dark blue. I wanted to create this outro because I will use it in some of my videos. I'm not sure if I will use it in all my videos because it takes a lot of time actually edit it in using editing software. I mainly created it so I could use it in some series that I have so people can click at the end of the video to go the next one instead of scrolling through a playlist. Also, my social media links will also be at the end of the video for any one that would want to connect with me on social media.

                                      1. I first chose to do the outro with the dimensions 1280x720 because that's the proper size for the outro. I also added in my pictures that I wanted.
                                             
 
                                      2. I added the textures that I wanted into the photo.  I used these to textures.  I also ended up taking the warlock image on the left out because it darkened the whole outro.
                                                           

                                       3. Then I overlayed them using the Photoshop options. I also used a nice gradient that I liked which was light purple to dark blue. and it looked pretty nice.
                                                 
                                      4. I added a small destiny logo to the image because I took out the warlock. I gave it a stroke and also added one of favourite brushes to image and overlayed both of them.
                                         


What I learned : 

Today, I learned a few new things while using photoshop. First, I learned the dimensions of the outro and they 1280x720. Next, I learned a bit more about overlaying and all the options that you have. such "overlaying" which overlays your pictures on top of each of other giving them an opacity effect because you can see both the images such as you see here,

                                               

I also learned that you can use the brushes that you installed in eraser and brush form. I forgot to switch the eraser tool to the brush tool and I was very confused why it wasn't working when I tried to use it so that was an interesting thing to learn today. I also learned more about erasing. I learned that I have to use the very first eraser tool to actually make it look the images are fading into each other.
                               

What I plan to learn tomorrow : 
Tomorrow, I plan to learn how to finish this outro. I want to learn how to add the black boxes in my outro because it gives one the position of where the video will be displayed. I also want to add some more brushes to it to give it a more complex touch to it. I will also try to learn some other things tomorrow for the outro but the main thing will be just finishing it up.
