First, you need to use a user-friendly photo editing software. Personally, I like to use GIMP because it's free and easy to manipulate.
Second, you need to download harabara font because it is the lettering style officially used in the #itsmorefuninthephilippines campaign as shown below.
Once you're done downloading the font and editing software, it's time to start adding "it's more fun in the Philippines" slogan.
The photo above is what we'll work on. What you need to do is to find a creative tag line to your travel photo.
In our sample photo taken from Siquijor pier, we figured to write "Dry docking. It's more fun in the Philippines" on the photo.
You need to open the photo via GIMP software and this is how it should appear. Now, GIMP might ask you to convert your photo, just click OK for more editing options.
To add the text, press the bold letter "A" and then drag the arrow to write the text. Place the text anywhere in the photo. Personally I like to place the text in the in the spacious part of the picture.
What we did above is to write the text and use the harabara font into your computer. We also used color white for our font and adjust the opacity of the text up to 66%. In that way, the letters will blend with the background picture.
Because the word "Philippines" is much bigger than the rest of the text, we wrote it in a separate text box. The same procedure is applied -- use harabara, use white colored text, and set to around 60% opacity.
Once you feel that you're done placing the text in the right position and size, it is now time to export photo from GIMP and convert it to Jpeg file. You need to click export and set the file into Jpeg. Then, presto, you're done with your picture promoting one of Philippine's tourist destination!
This is our final result of the travel photo taken at Siquijor Pier with "it's more fun in the Philippines" slogan in it.
It's very simple and easy to do this, so I highly encourage everyone to support the Philippines's tourism campaign by putting "it's more fun in the Philippines" tagline to their travel photos.
Check out other travel photos too, so you will have ideas on how to place the font in your picture. For more detailed instruction, check my YouTube instructional video below.
