Additional random thoughts below the cut:
As soon as I looked at what the Out of the Auditary challenge encompassed, this post, long saved in my Evernote posts, came to mind. :D It’s such a ridiculous and fun example of what folks on tumblr can use it to do. :D
Of course, because this post has been around for so long, and involves so many users, and taking into account the purge of December 2017, it was an Adventure of detective work to find everybody for permissions.
Speaking of so many users, that was another Adventure of figuring out how I was gonna get all the credits onto the cover, lolololol.
Speaking of the cover, I went searching for images of ‘mushroom fairy rings’ among other search terms, hoping for appropriately phallic mushrooms lololol. This photo was amazing in terms of looking ethereal and colorful, having enough space for me to attempt to jam a lot of text on there, and having dick-shaped-ish mushrooms versus the flat-topped ones in a lot of faerie rings. Thank goodness for pixabay and google image search (set to “images okay for reuse”).
I learned how to cajole photoshop into doing curvy text on this project! First I used the freeform transform to rotate the text to about the right slanted angle. Then while the ‘T’ and not the ‘pointer’ bit is selected on the side toolbar, one of the top toolbar options allows you to fiddle with the text shape, and I chose the arc and could mess around with curvature and whatnot before moving it around in place.
