2
00:00:20
First of all, cutout subject from the background. (If your image has white or solid background then skip this step).

3
00:00:30
I will cutout subject using select and mask (or refine edge tool).

4
00:00:42
Take Selection Tool and select the main subject.

5
00:00:54
click-drag the area you want to select.

6
00:01:09
Take refine edge tool and paint on edges of the hair.

7
00:01:17
check smart radius especially when extracting hair.

8
00:01:50
Note: we don't need a perfect cutout for this tutorial, basic initial masking is enough.

9
00:01:59
Tick the Decontaminate box to remove any color fringing selected nearby pixels.

10
00:02:07
I almost always use New Layer with Layer Mask. Click the OK button, and you’re done.

11
00:02:18
Add solid white color adjustment.

12
00:02:48
Now merge both layers.

13
00:03:01
Duplicate background copy layer.

14
00:03:09
Change layer blending to hard light or vivid or linear light for extreme contrast.

15
00:03:22
Now create a new layer from all the visible layers by pressing Ctrl + Shift + Alt + E.

16
00:03:35
Go to filter gallery and apply cutout filter.

17
00:03:51
Experiment with no. of levels and edge simplicity amount.

18
00:04:12
Usually low amount of levels works well for this effect.

19
00:04:29
Now desaturate the layer [SHIFT+CTRL+U].

20
00:04:38
Again go back to filter gallery but this time apply "Tom Edges" filter.

21
00:04:55
Keep image balance: 25-30, smoothness & contrast : 15.

22
00:05:11
Make selection of the white background using 'color range.'

23
00:05:18
Take eyedropper and click to sample the white color to include.

24
00:05:28
Inverse the select [Shift+Ctrl+I].

25
00:05:35
Now blacks are selected. Add new color adjustment of your preference.

26
00:06:02
Now create a new document for logo design.

27
00:06:12
Click and drag the color fill layer into new document.

28
00:06:26
Scale or skew your object as you want.


29
00:06:49
Now create a shape over your design using the Shape Tool.

30
00:07:27
After you have finished positioning the shape, Type or insert logo name as you want.

31
00:08:19
That's it.

32
00:08:31
Open color fill layer and change colors of logo as you wish.
