So they don’t have any preferred orientation or crop ratio? It’s just whatever fits best with the picture? I didn’t know if how they where going to use it made a difference (text, Facebook etc.).
BTW: Photo Critique #63 starting at 01:26:50, talks about making text readable on pictures. It was really helpful for me.
That’s correct, @blessingscaptured! There’s no preferred orientation or crop ratio! Pretty much any orientation/crop works for any of those platforms – text, Facebook, website.
What version do they want?
That’s a really good question, @esther. I typically use the ESV; is there going to be a problem with that, @jamesstaddon, or should we try to stick to the more traditional (at least in the USA) KJV, which they use on their website? Or it doesn’t make any difference?
-WilliamHere are a few submissions drawn from my portfolio; mostly they’re from the ESV. (English Standard Version)

I love verse pics! Here’s one I made the other day, after @Jamesstaddon inspired me with his beautiful typographic skills. I dabble in graphics design, but this kind of thing is a bit above my skill level. @jamesstaddon if you ever do some training on making things like this, please let me know; I’d be interested!

What version do they want?
Great question @esther! No special requirements on the version, just stay away from paraphrases like “The Message”. 🙂 ESV is fine, @frazer-family.
Here are some from my portfolio. But I do want to challenge myself to shoot some this month just for the assignment.

So fun to see submissions coming in already!
I enjoyed putting together a few Verse Pics today, and thought I’d post them here! For the clock picture, it was a real challenge to make the text readable with the busy background of clock numbers! I ended up adding shadow, some glow, and a gradient overlay beneath the words.

Is there anyway to get the Photoshop files to be smaller? Mine are ending up being 75 MB or more. (Makes for slow uploading.)
What a fun assignment!
I’ve been laid up for a couple of weeks due to an injury, so I thought that I would take the time to design a number of VersePics. Normally I would use Photoshop or Illustrator for this type of project, but because I wasn’t able to use my computer, I experimented with an app called ‘Over’. I was really impressed with this app and all the features it had. 🙂 The only thing that I was disappointed about, is that there was no way to save the files so that you had editable layers – I’m hoping that’ll be ok!
