Du bist Deutschland: Deconstructed

Our contribution to the massive Du bist Deutschland-hype in the Blogosphere:

And this wouldn’t be Photoshopblog if we didn’t show you how you make your own DuBistDeutschland-fotof*ck.

So, start the Photoshopmachine!
Read on:
What do you need?

Right, now start throwing the pieces together:
Open the background picture in Photoshop and resize the canvas to 800 x 600 (image>canvas size).

I’ve added a gray blue layer with blending mode set to “color” to make the grayscale-picture more interesting.

Add the obligatory text “Du bist *name*” in the Georgia-font. I used font size 250 for the “Du” and 60 for the “bist Sven Jaschan”-part.

Type some German dummytext at the bottom (or search something about your subject on Google.de) in size 8 and insert the logo ( cut the white areas with the magic wand (”W”)).

To give your piece that extra dimension, tweak the letters from the name so they connect fluidly.
Bad: letters1.jpg Good: letters2.jpg

Have fun making your own parody!
If you’re a Flickr-users, be sure to add your piece to the Du Bist Deutschland-pool.

    You can also get a ready made Photoshop-Template at Spreeblick. Download

    And in the normal DBD campaign the font used is Times, not Georgia. :-)

    Cool man, I’m gonna have some fun with this campaign of our eastern neighbours :D

  3. Paul-Serge Says:

    @Dirk: Thanks, nice template! But they neglect the finishing touch, the connecting letters ;)

  4. cgommel Says:

    I am more than sure that the campaign uses the “utopia” font which is funny if you compare the font’s name to the campaign’s intent.
