    Excellent. I made the word cloud into a smart object up front, since rotating and scaling things repeatedly can create jaggies.

    You are awesome! I was working through another tutorial that was too vague and I came out with an interesting design. However, it was not what I was looking for. I am going to follow your instructions! Thank you!!!

    Yeah not the best idea to use a light skin guy. The linear burn did not do the same affect because I think his skin was too dark. Damn the Word thing took me the most time which sucks ass, guess gotta choose I different person. But if you do use a darker skin person change the levels or the skin tone lighter
