- Select the perfect image. Whether you choose a high-quality stock photo or use one of your own, you want to select an image that is relevant to your text.

- Edit the appearance of your image. Open your image in either Photoshop, Illustrator or CC Express, and use the editing tools to make your image look just the way you want. These apps make it simple to adjust the brightness, contrast, shape, and size of your image.
- Add text to your image. Now it’s time to apply your message to the image. Use the text box tool in either app to type your message, then use the text editing tools to change the font, size, or color of your text. Learn more about using Photoshop to add text to your image.
