VSCO Typography Filter Recipe – Hi friends, how are you today? hopefully always healthy. On this article page we will discuss or provide a tutorial on how to edit a filter recipe on VSCO which will later be used as a typography background. For friends who are not familiar with the world of editing or are still beginners, you need to know that the editing elements added to the photo will make the photo have the impression of a certain atmosphere.

Why do we need to filter the photo before adding typography?. Editing photos before adding typography aims so that the text and photos are in sync, to make them look more unified. If the analogy is like when you want to paint on a canvas. Before painting, we need to prepare a canvas, which long before we need to go through several processes so that the initial materials can be processed into a canvas that can be made for painting. Now that we understand why we need to make changes to the photo, let’s move on to the tutorial.
