After 4 years, here I am utilizing your video to create my very first FULL obituary. A local funeral home is considering a partnership with me, but I must first submit a full obituary, and thanks to you, I accomplished that task, just submitted it and will wait until tomorrow to get their feedback, and also . . . it looks absolutely DOPE!!!! Thanks Myles and please don't ever delete this video!! I will be using it for every obituary I create until I get each and every step completely!!
You did such a wonderful job on this teaching this lovely obituary sample of Prince Roger Nelson. I live in Minneapolis and my brothers would hang out with Prince. Only 4 blocks away for our home to his home. The North side always followed our Prince. And we miss him like crazy.
I work at a funeral home, still learning alot about photoshop. I really LOVE what you did to make this program. Hopefully I can give it a try out for myself!
I have been using this video for the last 2 weeks trying to navigate photoshop as a first time user. You do very nice work and you teach well! Thank You ❤
First time photoshop user here and I accomplished making a beautiful obituary for my grandmother’s funeral based off of only your video! My family and friends were so impressed they told me I needed to start a side hustle! Thank you! Your work is beautiful and you are so helpful! I was reviewing the comments because I had ours taken to be printer but was wondering what printer you used and noticed you told someone you would cover printers in another video, did you happen to do that yet? I’d love to watch.
I am currently doing this at the movement. This video + your comment gives me hope.
This video is a little long for me to be watching at midnight so im going to finish tomorrow lol. I want to learn this as my side hustle and this was the first video that came up. IT seems pretty detailed and the example in your thumbnail is the look I was going for and not the typical boring obituary. So I'll be back to watch! lol thanks
This is a great video that explains things very clearly. I was joking with my business partner on how simple you made it look but hanks to you, I was able to start offering obituaries as a service. Keep the videos coming!
Glad to hear it friend, thats great!
Lovely video content! Sorry for chiming in, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you ever tried - Schallingora Publicity Extracting Scheme (search on google)? It is a great one off product for learniing amazing eulogy speeches minus the headache. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my friend at very last got amazing results with it. ✔️
Omg so talented I'm trying to start and obituary business and you're giving me life! Geeesh I'm so motivated I'm just trying to understand the design part and once I do I got this🙌🏽 thank u!
thanks for watching! :D
I enjoyed this video. It helped me TREMENDOUSLY. I literally used it while working on my design. Thank you so much
Awesome job Sir! Thank you so very much!!
Thank you, through you I found my way to respectfully create an honourable design...Blessed

💯great work
i was ask to create my 1st obituary an when searching... ya vid was 1st to pop up...def going to take what i learn from this vid an apply it....
Great video! I will watch it over and over! Which is the best printer for printing them out? Is it cheaper to go to Kinkos to print out your designs?
I had to like and sub this. Just what i was looking for. I have so many questions but i'll start with this... Can you do a tutorial on how to do at least a 8 page Obit and how to save it so it can be printed duplex? I just bought an Hp laser-jet printer and im having trouble figering out the setting to print duplex for a single fold, can you don a tutorial on that as well? My image isn't filling the page and the layout isnt coming out right. Thanks in advance.
Bro could you please explain the commands your using on 25:21. You doing it allot and I’d love to know how to do it.
amazing content
I hope you keep update :)
Also, how do you center things on the right side and left side. I hope that makes sense?...
How did you fade the first Prince picture with the guitar you moved so fast
Miles how do i print this out. Amazing video you are so talented.
I’ve been looking for this !!!! Teach me more please. I work in the funeral industry and this is helpful
Is there like a graphic design class I can take to help me with this?
What kind of printer or machine is used to print out the obituaries and what kind of paper ?
What type of paper do you use and type of printer?
How’d you make the cover art?
Whatbrand of printer do you use???
I'm so happy I found this video. But I do have a question, what is the best paper to print obituaries on?
thanks for watching! its really up to the maker and the budget of the project. ive seen them on thin glossy papers, thin matte papers, and on card stock papers as well. hope this helps.
How did you soften the bottom of the pic?
What type of paper do you use for these types of graphics?
You are awesome 😊
thanks for watching!
Where did you get the font you used for Prince?
You did an amazing job! I’m looking into doing obituaries and programs. You’ve inspired me! Do you know how to do the obituaries where they have the 3 layers of folding and not the traditional folding?
right here czcams.com/video/mty7sd6bxq4/video.html
PSDboy I saw that. But I mean like an overlaying obituary. The tabs are overlaying one another.
@@TEAwithchass I've actually never seen or done that type of design before. Do you have a link to an example of how it looks?
PSDboy It’s actually called a step fold obituary.

What kind of printer do you use to print these?

I would i go about getting this printed?
I use now deciding to start doing this. I have millions of questions, lol. But...what program is this or should I use? Also what type of printer do you recommend, or is it less expensive to print at a printing shop?
How many you have to print up would determine if you should go with a home printer or a shop but I would recommend taking it to a print shop to get a professional finish. They will have more paper options and inks than you would have access to
I really enjoyed your video. I am doing funeral program now, but want to create them in Photoshop. What photoshop program do I need to purchase.
hey thanks for watching. its called adobe photoshop, the new one is like 10 or 20 dollars a month.
Photoshop is for picture edits only? I was looking for InDesign tut.
This has helped so much for my side hustle! But what I can never figure out how to do is how to change the brush color? :/
the two colors on the bottom left side in the tool box control your brush colors. The one on top is the one that is the 'current' color for brushing. If you double click it, a window will open and allow you to change the color.
@@MylesHiArt wow thank you so much. stay safe!!
@@MylesHiArt do you only design for people or do you print too?
What format do you export to when printing? I’m taking one I’m doing to a local print shop and trying to determine the best format to use
a PDF works or .jpg
Hey can I connect with you personally for one on one help to make my uncle’s obituary?
30:50 How are you using the gradient tool on two different edges without it only taking away from the edge you are dragging a line over and not both?
my gradient tool is set on 'black to transparent' I explained that at around the 6 minute mark.
That was very helpful! How would I save it to sent to printer?
Hey! Thanks for watching. So here's another video I did on how to save book pages as a single PDF file czcams.com/video/Ped-8OzDUjc/video.html
I have been using Adobe InDesign however, I would love to use Photoshop as it has more design options. How do I save it for the printer to make it a booklet (one document) since its two separate documents? I hope that makes sense.
People have told me for like ten years that inDesign is the way to do it but I've never liked using indesign for the same reasons you've mentioned above. I've always used photoshop! But yea anyway yes its possible to do this. With your documents open in photoshop, go to file>automate>pdf presentation and it will let you make it into 1 document in .PDF format.
@@MylesHiArt yes indesign for set up is awesome I love it but you cannot do half as much graphics wise. I wish photoshop had templates for sizing like indesign. I always mess my margins up in publisher as far as printing goes
Can you print it too
7:37 filling on the purple on the background. I’m having a few struggles with layers. I do a lot of obituaries all in word which I hate especially if I’m doing a full color background there’s always that white border. I’m new to photoshop; I have it for 3 months but I bought photoshop elements plus a Dummies book..lol! Which is how I feel right now!!! Are there any other obituary tutorials you have. I saw the one with Kobe Bryant and another lady who passed
The paint bucket tool is what you can use to fill the layers up. Here's how you can change the background:
double click on the bottom color, then the window layer will pop up. Select the color you want, hit ok. You should now see a new color for the bottom selection.
Next, select the layer you want to fill on the right in the layer window. Then, hit Command+Delete (CTRL+Backspace on Windows) and it should fill that layer with that color. Hope this helps!
If you'd like to do it without using keyboard shortcuts, you can click the paint bucket in the tool box window (It may be hidden behind the gradient tool) and then just click into the document and it will fill with your foreground color.
I will consider uploading some more Obituary tutorials for people to learn from. Thanks for watching!
Thank you so so much! I’ve looked at other tutorials on a Photoshop and Photoshop Elements, but yours is THE BEST one that I have learned from! Thanks again for sharing your talent and teaching us what we want to learn!! I’m glad I subscribed!!!
I’m new at this so when scanning photos do you scan it on your phone and then add to computer or only scan from computer?
I haven't tried any phone scanning apps so I can't personally say that they would yield bad or good results. If I were you I'd try both methods if possible, and if not, just go with whatever method is available to you.
26:43 beautiful.
How did you format your pages so when you turn the page it can be in the correct order? Especially for printing, I want to make sure it prints in the correct order.
czcams.com/video/TfLO3mnk6bY/video.html This should help, here's a video of me explaining how to sort out a booklet 'dummy' so that you can know where to place each page.
@@MylesHiArt thank you so much!
Hi! I’m trying to follow this video but I can’t change my background color.
The background might be locked. If you double click on it in the layer window and then click ok it should unlock and then you can change the color.
I don't have the black to transparent gradient option, how do I get that?
Your options will change based on the colors you have selected in your toolbox. So if you don't have black set as your foreground it won't show up.
hey is it a way you could do a video for beginners i really enjoyed the video it was just kinda fast pace for a beginner
How did you get that font (across the road)
www.dafont.com has a lot of free fonts you can choose from!
what type of paper did you use to print on for this?
anything from a thick card stock or a glossy 100lb (thin, magazine type paper), it depends on what look you want. you can literally use any style of paper (except for like, tracing paper haha)
Which printer do you use to get a nice look?
I will cover printers in a different video soon. :)
Did you ever cover the printing!!
Also, I want to print these as full A4 size when folded. What size paper would I need?
whatever is twice the size in width of A4 paper. We dont use that size where I'm from so I'm not sure what to suggest.
@@MylesHiArt that should of been common sense lol. Bet. Looks like a3 is what I’ll need. I’m gone do some test runs and see what I like and what I want to offer. I appreciate you a lot man fr. I’m tryna get it out the mud and make my mama proud! How would I go about getting clients? I feel like most people already know somebody who makes them lol
Hey I was wondering since I don’t have that software would there be anyway for you to make me one?
How do you print them together?
you'd need a printer that will print on duplex mode.
I loved your tutorial, I am a beginner. Do you offer a beginner tutoria?
I know you told someone in the comments you charge near $150 for design..so do I charge for printing separately? Not at all? Or is it included in the $150?
That’s really up to you but printing is really expensive...it would take away most of your profit. I would definitely charge them extra to do that or just send the file to them so they can handle the rest.
I do programs also DEFINITELY charge separate for printing.
I’m following the video up until u added the glow...what did u go 2?
at what time part?
Rowe Shot Me at 8:07, i am lost
he went back to the brush tool and used white to add the highlight
yes at 8:07 im simply lighting up the background behind him to compensate for the white in the cutout that I cant reach. Just to make things look more smoothly.
What programs can obituaries be made with besides photoshop?
maybe GIMP has enough features where you can make one just as good, I'm not 100% sure, sorry. Photoshop is kind of industry standard its the only software I've used to make these.
@@MylesHiArt ok thanks im not familiar with Photoshop at all but it looks like I will have to learn. Thank you
Hi I'm in need of a custom obituary. Just the design and I can have them printed out myself. Can you assist me with this. I can send payment
yes, email me please artworkbyrowe@gmail.com
I emailed you
What’s the ideal price range for them ?
Difficult to say it depends on the client; where u live possibly, and their budget. It can be a real money maker if u live in a big city though cuz people die every day. I guess I probably wouldn’t charge less than $150 to design one but that’s me. You have to know what your skill set is worth... clients going through a death can be tough to deal with so you want to find a price you’re comfortable with doing the job for.
Rowe Shot Me thanks for the advice 💯
Is this software photoshop
Why isnt my gradient working? :(
Ryan Thomas you probably have it set to black to white. It has to be set to black to transparent. In the top left corner with the gradient tool open u can see what it’s set to by looking at that rectangular box
Confused on how you are fading the picture. I added the layer and went to the gradient mask but it didn't quite work out like yours. I was only able to do the bottom of the picture but nothing else. I also tried to use the wand and didn't see it. I'm so lost.
Maybe you need to set the gradient from black to transparent or maybe your gradient setting is set to something other than the default linear style. You can edit the gradient options by clicking on the bar in the top left corner that appears when you open the gradient tool.
Creating an obituary
@@MylesHiArt I agree with Thomas Charles, I am only able to use the gradient on one side of the image. Anytime I attempt to do the left side, what I've done on the bottom disappears. Gradient tool is set on black to transparent. There appears to be an issue using a gradient multiple times on one image/layer mask. PLEASE HELP!
Errands by Erin honestly idk ...if you set to black to transparent and make sure you have the layer mask selected it should work as an eraser kind of
I have the same issue with making multiple fades once I click and try to fade another spot it deletes my previous fade
Hey, This may be a dumb question...but if I want the obituary to be 8X10, do I need to make my document 16x20 so that it folds down to 8X10?
No because you're only folding it in half. So you double the width size. You'll need to make it on an 11x17 since there's no 10x17 size sheets(that I know of).once printed It will fold in half to make a size 8.5x11 obituary.
Lol I’d like to know how we can learn for the BEGINNERS😂😂😂😂that is THANK YOU
what type of photo paper do you print the obituary on?
You didn't state how to save
czcams.com/video/Ped-8OzDUjc/video.html
This is not the correct link
yeah it works i just tried it.
I click the link also and it took me to some sexual stuff. I’ll try clicking it on my computer because clicking on the phone definitely did not work
How do you print this out???
Once you save the design as a .PDF you can tell the computer to print double sided (depending on if your printer has those capabilities) alternatively you can go to a print shop or an office shop such as office depot, staples, or fedex office. They likely have printers that will print double sided for you. If for some reason you cannot do a double sided print, you can print one side out, flip it over horizontally, and feed that same paper into the printer the opposite way to print on the other side.
hello, what is your email?
artworkbyrowe@gmail.com
I got lost at the part where you do the white behind his head. 🥴
click new layer in the layer palette. click the brush. right click on the canvas, set brush hardness to 0%. change the color to white, then click on the canvas to brush.
@@MylesHiArt bet about to try now ty 👌🏿

Someone on TikTok completely stole this design and passed it off as their own
if you have the link, could you share it with me please
Nice video but you were going way too fast for me, a beginner. Again, nice video.
