For class I had to incorporate 1-10 of the textures that I posted up a week ago along with a picture of a sculpture my classmates and I came up with. This is what I decided to make on photoshop.
We also had to include 2 tips. One tip from Photoshop and another from Illustrator. Here they are:
Photoshop: Putting an image inside another image
- Have tow windows open: One with your portrait photo and another with your texture or scene photo.
- Use the rectangular marque tool to border your texture photo then go to "Edit" "Copy".
- While on your portrait image pull up your "Channel" pallet in the pallet menu. Then command/click on any of the channels.
- While on your portrait photo go to "Edit" "Paste into".
- Your image should now be complete!
Illustrator: Changing Fonts
- Got to "Type" on your guide bar.
- Click "Font"
- Choose what font you would like to use.
1st Picture: Includes the statue. Used the magnetic lasso tool to Highlight the areas that I changed such as the background which I used a Gradient Map to change the colors. I also used the magnetic lasso tool to edit the glasses, nose, finger and stick thing. I used my flower, crystal, metal, and griptape textures. I also blended the brick and wood to overlay the image.
2nd Picture: I did everything as I did the first picture but didn't include the wood.
Hi Brian,
ReplyDeleteIt's good to see you including an explanation of how you created the image. I am also happy to see the different versions posted so that we have a better understanding of your process. Keep working at the software. One tip I would have for you is to look at different digital images you might find online and when you see one you like try to figure out how it was made. It sounds difficult, but very often the effects that an artist uses in an image have easy to find tutorials on various sites like YouTube, the Adobe site, or lynda.com (you can use these tutorials free with the temporary user name and password from the UD site).
