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.

dbd2.jpg
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.

dbd3.jpg
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.

If you enjoyed reading this tutorial, then go digg it :p

    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

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

    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.

    How did it cost to start up this blog…I want to start my own.

  46. Hennrik O. Hannsen on 12 Mar 2010 at 3:18 pm #

    Hello! How are you today? It’s just that i dig your blog so much, and that i believe you could start getting alot of money using it. I have a couple of thriving websites that i started making some money from recently. They are using something called a content blocker widget, it makes guests fill out a small survey to get access to premium content or to download programs or tools that they want. And each time they do a fast quiz i earn around a dollar. Pretty cool eh..? Been making much more from it than adsense! Feel free to email me, or you can check it out through my refferal link. tinyurl.com/yevwfst, Kind Regards, Hennrik O. Hannsen
