How To Group Colors and Do Shades like "Trump" by A.Steele

8 years ago
Trump by A. Steele is incredible!!! I would love, love, love to segregate colors in specific areas or learn shading like A. Steele did in the Starbucks coffee cup. WOW!!!!

Alex, Thanks for your answer but I'm afraid I still don't quite understand about a) isolating colors on any image, not just the Trump hat and b) how to graduated shading on different images in your word cloud. I also just started experimenting with using photos instead of clip art which seems to give some shading effects. I'm confused how "default" mode could issue such a custom design as having colors separated or different shapes in different colors. Would still love to understand.
THanks!

Hi Pat, both word clouds used the default settings (with custom background in Trump case). You can just use those shapes and visualize your word cloud to get the similar results. Also you can click "Customize" button to make a copy of a cloud from Tagul Gallery to customize.

Can you be more specific? I'm working on a custom shape — a soccer ball with a word laid over it. I'd like the words in the soccer ball to be a different color than the words in the word itself.

Thanks for the assistance!

Words take the colors of the image areas where they are placed. You need to colorize the soccer ball with the colors you like in any image editor and then upload it to Tagul.

So for example …. I am thinking of a soccer ball with the word UNIFIED across it. If I create the image of the soccer ball in black and then use a blue for the word UNIFIED, the words that "land" in each of these areas will take on the characteristic color of that area — with no extra work on my part?

Then all the words except UNIFIED will be black as the soccer ball is black. If you want some soccer ball parts to be in another color, you need to colorize it in any image editor and upload to Tagul.
