hi it's Divya G, your favorite Susan Boyle stan account having returned back from
the war.... exam season! But what does the G stand for? A question that I ask in every
single one of my videos and somehow it suddenly become a thing. The G stands or
Green is not a creative color. Now that's a throwback and a half isn't it but
anyway if you're new to my channel hello welcome to the G family. On this platform
we talk about trash and sometimes we do creative things as well so subscribe if
you want to make your friends cry... because that's what I'm about to show
you, in this video. So you know when you just have so many friends like you just
have So Many Friends and when I say so many friends you have the entire DVD
collection seasons 1 to 138. If you're like me and you prefer nostalgic and
meaningful things and you'd rather give something homemade you know with your
own hands you know your blood sweat and tears (by BTS) and your mucus and you know
like your skin cells. I'd rather receive that for my birthday. I'm going to show
you three different methods keep on watching and I hope you enjoy the video
yes. We interrupt our program to bring you this important message. Oh my god
what is this really generic bag that literally everybody has in the corner?
This is not a spon(ser) and is also like know what she didn't ask me to do this
my girl Chami she has a business and you know I'm out here supporting my
friends is they're out here hustling. Are these pins just not the
buffest tings you've ever seen just look at them.
You know go support. Link in the description bar below. My boy Eray we've
been Twitter friends for a long time but he came out with a zine recently for the
lgbtq+ community and he's only a small bean but you know my friends are out
here doing this publishing having their own business and I'm just here to like
support cuz I might as well do something useful with my platform do you know what I mean? like
spreading awareness and stuff but yeah What is up guys it's your girl DIVYA G back
at it again with another tutorial I really do feel like an actual gamer
whenever I do voiceovers but anyway do you want to give your friends something
meaningful and something to remember other than a walk? I'm gonna show you
three main categories one: the artsy types which you can create on any medium
that you desire: paper, your phone, or on Photoshop / Grimp. Two is the tumblr inspired
collage. 3 is the tumblr inspired edit. oh what is this for? a bonus round because a
mother has to feed her children I'm gonna show you another idea where you
can just take the piss and morph their face on to their favorite thing. Believe
it or not the key thing to remember with all of these is to take inspiration from
Shrek. They stink or they make you cry? No, it's all about layers. The first collection
of course looks impressive on the outside but really it's a very simple
concept kind of like my Instagram feed go follow.
I always think adding your own personal element
*delicious wet noises*
Whether it's a drawing, painting or an edit adds
little you know je ne sais quois. Yes I do speak Nigerian. So the first step is get
a cute photo of your friend or alternatively a bad mug shot if you're
a better friend. Step 2 choose an aesthetic background the key
Google search words are "aesthetic", "background", "tumblr"
*marvin gaye let's get it on plays softly in the background*
so the first one I made an edit on photoshop actually and then I just decided you
know what it'll be more special if I just do it by hand and there you go
hand does take the longest so if you'd rather do it digitally you can do it
on an app you want to get one that allows you to have layers I can't
actually show you how I created this specific image because I lost the video
and I don't know where it's gone :( so because I don't have the actual process here's one that
I made earlier and here is a BTEC substitute demonstration I think the key
thing with these types of images is adding different elements in the
background and it'll be a lot easier if you choose something that's already
transparent so recommend doing I'd recommend putting the image that you
want to recreate at the bottom making it slightly more transparent and then use
another layer on top and then just draw over it if you're lazy and it's
basically just rearranging different layers on top of each other and then
this is a Photoshop demonstration once again everything likes to emulate my
eyebrows the footage was gone I could not find the at all. I feel like the idea
is more important to me than me trying to show you how to draw my very specific
friend without just be weird et voila these are the final results
another easy birthday idea is collages! if anyone ever added me on snapchat
basically I just screenshot everything "why do you take so many screenshots?"
number one I'm an activist number two this is the moment your snapshot
screenshot collection has been waiting for you know all their receipts the
thing you really want for this is the pen tool I just made a selection around
the image you can either select it so that it looks like actual cut out with
scissors or selects it however you want to select it i right-click press make
selection ctrl I to invert the selection and then just delete the bit that you
don't want once again add it as a LAYER and then ctrl T. T for troye? No t for transform.
patterns are always aesthetically pleasing and when you can't afford real
Polaroids - FAKE THEM. Once the main bitly bobbly bits and peace, cutting out and
arranging is all done I like to use a PSD or just like a filter on top of
everything just to make it look a little bit more like one and if you actually
want to print out your card onto a piece of card what I like to do is I like to
flatten the image, discarding all the visible layers so you just have to
select all of the layers and then press right click and then flatten image and
then expand your canvas to be the size of an a4 piece of paper and now you can fold it
and it's beautiful and nOICE.
rotate your image like 90 degrees clockwise. We steal everything from
tumblr on this channel and all these cards are basically based on the same
idea but as a visual demonstration if you spend enough time looking at tumblr
fandom edits they're actually quite useful to draw inspiration from and the
way that they use and manipulate shapes and designs so here I am using a
circular border on a pastel background using the circle tool and
then just adding a bunch of shapes together and then somehow it just ended
up looking nice. Dafont.com is literally your best friend by the way like
the last ones not aesthetic at all. It's just making use of the Face Swap
technique by cropping out the face, selecting their face, and using the match
color tools to try and make it look less like the phrase "graphic design is my passion"
I chose ratatouille - not only because it's a masterpiece of fine cinematic
experience also because it's my friend's favorite movie but you can choose
whatever you like you know their favorite band their favorite book their
favorite condiment I put their face on a ketchup bottle. this whole face swapping
thing it's probably best if you choose photos where the angle and the
expression is at least somewhat similar to whatever you try to swap their face
onto. It'll save you having to warp and fiddle around with the perspectives but
yes
