Presenting my Photographs

Presented by Alex Parsons & Josh Potts

1st Edit. To edit this image in photoshop I have used the

magic wand tool to cut around the body and the chair. I then used the eraser to neatly cut out parts that could not get fully erased by the magic wand. I then erased the white stripe and Adidas logo off the trousers to make the image look neat. I used the clamp tool to smudge the hair line to suit the image we were interpreting. After cutting out the entire image I created another layer for a blue background. I then created another layer to start adding special effects to interpretate the image we were using. I used the paint brush to create a formal shape behind the image before using the stamp to blur the colour to bring out the edges. I then used the oval shape to create a spherical shape around the side of the image. I then used the stamp to blur out the oval shape to create an identical theme to the image we were interpretating.

2nd Edit. I used the magic wand tool to cut out the

ball and separate it from the background in order to edit and add special effects to it. I used the colour menu on the right side of photoshop with the preset option to add the solid orange colour at the top and slightly fade it out at the bottom into a lighter orange and then yellow. I then used the shape tool to easily insert a star onto the image and then used the preset colour option again to make the star a solid red colour.

3rd Edit. I used the magic wand tool to cut

out the main image in order to put it up against different backgrounds with separate layers in photshop. I then inserted the ‘Dragon Ball’ image that we created and lined it up with the hands to interpretate the image we were using. I then used the stamp tool to create the same blurred effect on the Dragon Ball to interpretate the image we were using as much as we could. I then searched for an image which would suit the background of the image we were interpretating to suit the image we had edited and make is as accurate as possible.

4th Edit. I used the background eraser

tool to cut the image away from the background in order to get the title by itself. When I had cut the image out I could use it on any surface/background and it would be just the logo without a white background or box.

5th EditI have cropped the original image down and added colour by using the bucket tool which will fills large areas in the correct colour as long as there are no gaps in the lines.
