FINAL PIECE IDEAS.

mind map

This is my original mind map for the social media unit. On this mind map are the different subjects I could use, social media platforms and ways I could present my idea. I am leaning towards the theme of Facebook and Facebook comments, and how they can be positive and negative. In terms of presenting my idea, I like the idea of painting over it, sewing into it and using words from magazines.

photoshopped.

I got the two images from google, opened them in photoshop. Dragged Simons face onto Marylins. Free transform, made Simons face big enough to go on top, used the eraser to rub out the background, his hair etc. I changed the brush size and the harshness to start blending. I adjusted the eraser opacity and continued to blend. I adjusted the brightness/contrast and the colour balance.

elephant original photo.

photoshopped.

First of all, I deleted the background from the elephants by using the quick selection tool and deleting the elephants, clicking the back space to delete the background. I used the rubber tool to get rid of anything left behind and neaten it up. I used the colour selector tool and the paint brush to fill in any bits which I accidentally rubbed out. I selected the elephants and moved them onto the sunset image. I used free transform and transform to scale the elephants and make them look realistic.
