Okay, so check it, today I’m gonna walk you through this thing I messed around with: “beyonce in sneakers.” Sounds simple, right? Turns out, it’s a bit of a journey, lemme tell ya.
It all started when I was scrolling through, saw some pics, and thought, “Yo, Bey in kicks is a whole vibe.” I’m talking less red carpet, more street style. So, I decided to see if I could cook something up myself.
First thing I did was hit up Google Images. Just started searching “Beyonce casual,” “Beyonce sneakers,” you know, the basic stuff. Downloaded a bunch of pics where she was rocking some serious footwear. We talking Adidas, Nikes, the whole shebang. Got a good mix of angles and outfits, something to work with.
Next, I jumped into Photoshop – yeah, I know, basic – but it gets the job done. Started cleaning up the images, removing distractions. You know, logos on walls, random people in the background. Just wanted to focus on Bey and the shoes. Used the clone stamp tool mostly, nothing fancy. Just painstakingly clicking away until the background was clean.
Then came the fun part: color correction. Some of the images were kinda dull, so I played around with the levels and curves. Bumping up the contrast, saturating the colors a bit, making everything pop. Didn’t want it to look too fake, but definitely wanted that Instagram-ready vibe.
Alright, so now I had a bunch of decent-looking pics. Next, I wanted to create like, a collage or something. Opened up a new Photoshop document, sized it up for Instagram. Started dragging in the pics, resizing them, arranging them in a way that looked cool. Overlapping some, leaving some space, just playing around until I found something I liked.
After the layout was done, I messed around with some filters. Nothing too crazy, just a subtle color grade to tie everything together. Used a vintage filter on one version, and a brighter, more modern filter on another. Decided I liked the brighter one better, looked more fresh.
Added some text, just a simple “Beyonce in Sneakers” at the top. Chose a font that was clean and modern, nothing too distracting. Kept the text white, with a subtle shadow to make it stand out. Placed it in a spot that didn’t cover up too much of the images.
Finally, I saved it out as a JPEG, uploaded it to my phone, and threw it up on Instagram. Added a caption about Bey’s style and tagged a few sneaker accounts. Boom, done.
It wasn’t anything groundbreaking, but it was a fun little project. And hey, it got a few likes, so I guess people dug it. Learned a few new Photoshop tricks along the way, so that’s always a win.
Lessons learned? Don’t be afraid to just mess around and see what happens. Sometimes the best stuff comes from just experimenting. And always, always, credit your sources!
