Double page spread editing process

 

This is the image I began with, I chose the image as I thought it would be the perfect image to edit upon the background image I chose to edit on

This is the background image I decided on, came to this decision as it a rap artist on stage and this was the perfect design for the idea I wanted to create using my research and analysis.

This was the image after I removed it from my body, I used a range of tools including magic wand, eraser, and smudge tool and opacity percentage. I used the magic wand tool to remove the large areas of colour that I did not require, this made it easier than just erasing the large areas. I then used the eraser tools for the sharper areas which weren’t as easy to remove. I then used the smudge tool for the areas such as the hat and beard that were interfering with the manipulation process.

 Here is the final edited image with my face (the main artist) although I wasn’t happy with the background as I believed it would be a barrier when trying to apply text and other elements.

  This is the final edited image, as you can see I used the eraser tool to clear all the background and used a simple plain black canvas that would allow me to apply text upon the page. Therefore this is the complete image used for my background and main image of my double page spread.
