How I do Handwritten Titles.

Lately, I have been adding Featured Images with Handwritten Titles to my Blogposts here on RobinHoFotos.com to add a little more of my Personality to the Site.

Here is how I make those using my iPad.

After I know what I am going to write about, I usually go ahead to open Procreate on my iPad, but you can use any Layer based drawing App you want, and create a new 16×9 Canvas. I use that Size to be able to add the Titles to Videos if I want to more easily.

I then chose a Brush and start writing with my Apple Pencil, tweaking the Title until I like it. When I am done, I go ahead and hide the background Layer and any other Layers that do not really work out and Export as PNG.

I then go to Pixelmator or Photoshop to add the Title to a fitting Image. While I could do that in Procreate as well, I prefer Pixelmator. That is because I can change the Colour of the Title in the App quite easily. I have not yet figured out how to do that in Photoshop on the iPad.
