Graphic Design Type Tool Exercise

Step 1:  Image search animal silhouettes.....right click and copy interesting animal.

Step 2: Open Photoshop.  New document 8.5 x 11 inches 200 ppi

Step 3:  Paste Image into new document and resize to fit.
Step 4:  Double click background layer to unlock, right click and merge animal and background layer together.

Step 5. Click new layer and begin using type tool to write words.  Below I used B  E  A  R.  Each letter on a separate layer.  Right click, and rasterize each type layer.

Step 6:  Use the free transformation tool and the warp too to resize text to fit inside silhouette.  Remember now that the layer is rastersized you can erase parts of the text you don't need.  Feel free to add drop shadows, or use the blur and smudge tool as well.  You can see below I used the smudge tool to create the bear claws.
