Unit 1 Section 2

All Experimentation 2.1.1 - 2.2.3
This is the original image of Scarlett Johanson, which I have used in Photoshop. I have manipulated the image in diffident ways. For example using the liquidize tool, to change her facial features. 

In this image I have use the liquidize tool. This tool is used in many Photoshop images especially in photo shoots for magazine covers. this tool can allow you to change peoples features, for example whether you want them to look fatter or thinner. Also the position of their eyes, mouth, nose ect. You can have fun with this tool making people look silly, however it is also used a lot by photo manipulators to get the right look from someone or something.

In this image I used basic Photoshop tools to make a clean, well presented person who had been Photoshop, to look like they hadn't been. I used the sponge tool to take some of the colour away from her hair. I also put some cuts and bruises on to simulate realism. I also merged all the layers together, and then but a variation an the entire image. this gives the image the feel that it is all one layer.

In this picture I have used different techniques to get the final image. I used a collection of tools, for example the liquidize, to change her eyes, and also the sponge too, to give her a run down look. This will add to the affect that she is a vampire or zombie. I also used an opaque brush with red colour to simulate blood dripping down. this gives the impression of a zombie/vampire world.
For this image I created a path around the skateboarder. In order for this to be affective, you need to have an image that is an action. Not just someone standing still. I then used the stroke path tool and coloured the line in orange. then using the blending tools I created an inner and outer glow effect and played around with the features, ending up with this entire piece.


With this image I put 3 separate images into a background picture and tried to make it look as real as possible. I used a character from the game portal 2 as well as 2 portals. I also added an over all filter to the image so that all of the separate images blended in with each other. I then used the smudge tool on the portals to give the effect that they were glowing on the ground.

In this photo image, I have photoshopped a few characters into the crowd. i used the "hue/contrast" tool to adjust the lighting of the character to make them blend in with the crowd. I also added shadow to the characters and made them opaque enough so they fit in with the rest of the people.


This is a mock up image of the rich man that I intend to put into my final magazine piece. using a simple brush tool i sketched an outline of the man on a graphics tab. then  used an opaque brush with a black colour to define the shading. then I used the colour replacement tool to fill in the man with colour.

This is a work in progress bear that I intend to put into my final magazine piece. however after the group presentation i have decided not to use this image.

 This was the source image that i used in order to create a flag waving in the wind. the reason i chose this was because it has strong gradients and a cool fabric material.

This is my final flag image. I created a basic background colour using the selection and fill tool. I then added some custom images and displayed them. then i got the fabric image and resized it so it would fit this canvas. after that I changed the mode of the fabric to multiply then stuck it on the top layer of the flag image. after that I pressed control j to make the flag darker, and simply turned the opacity down to my liking.

In this image i used the custom shape tool to create a plane shape. i used the custom path tool while i was creating it so that when i selected the text tool i could type around it. I then selected the text tool and clicked on the line of the shape. I knew that this was where i wanted the text to go because the text tool icon changed when i hovered over the shape. i then text "air strike" and copied and pasted it around the rest of the shape.

In this image i created a text box and added the text "something something something dark side".i then started to play around with the character tools bar. using some of the features i managed to change the height of the words, change the font, stretch the words and increase the spacing.


In this image i created a custom shape of a stick man. i also used the wrk path tool and that allowed me to insert text in or around the picture. after i created the shape i decided to insert the text in the image by selecting the space inside it with the text tool. i then had to go to the pats tab and select the other path to do the head aswell. i then used the character tool bar to modify the text. decreasing the spacing and size gave  me a full body shape because the text could fill more space.


This is an image of three different texts that i have manipulated. using the warp text tool i chose three different styles for three different words. the i used the features to tweak them. then i selected the words and hid the text layer. i then coloured them all in with a soft brush in various different colours.
