TRANSCRIPT
This was the first image I took on my photo shoot
I wanted to add some make up, I was thinking of adding eye makeup
Zoomed into the eye and I started using the burn tool, however it never worked because I had it set to shadows instead of midtones
I set the burn tool to mid tones and had the brush at a small pixel
I changed the colour of the shirt by selecting the black vest top with the
magic wand tool
Changed the Hue/saturation to purple
Cut the whole image from the background and then I needed to erase some parts of the background that had picked up with the ‘magic wand’ tool
I started erasing part of the green screen that had picked up
Also erased the green behind the flat plimsolls
I used a brush I had downloaded (link will up on blog) and then the swirly lines were too plain and it never showed the sense and vibe I wanted the magazine to emit and give to my target audience; 13-18’s, a dance sense and I wanted it to be vibrant
I went to the blending options and I added a outer glow with the same gradient as I used for the large mastheads, to carry on the house style and themes that run throughout the magazine.
I then added a colour overlay to the actual lines, to add more vibrancy to the image
Erased a part of the background that wasn’t meant to be there; I only realised after I had added the lines
This was the final image, I never wanted to over manipulate and add effects that would make the outcome and expression of the image look appalling and out of place.
I was overwhelmed with happiness when I finished I saw the image properly and it looked really professional and groovy the way the lines glow.
This was the website I downloaded the brushes from.
