The Centrepeice



This image may not need an explination as to how I did it but it's something I never tried before and it's different. Firstly I took a picture of myself. After doing so I put it into Photoshop, upped the levels, contrast and took a small amount of the brightness down. This would in turn make the photo look obviously darker but more mysterious and it was crisper. After doing this I went into the Filter Gallery and then onto Halftone Pattern and made sure it was dots and neither of the other to (because they're rubbish). The filter gave the picture a sort of blue shade to it. I then printed out the picture got a wet paintbrush that had recently been dabbed into black watercolour paint and went over the picture (especially the darker parts). After this the photo was damp and looked useless. I then got out felt tip pen and went round different darker parts of my face so you can certain details and the outline of my face. After doing this I flipped the picture over, at this point it looks almost like a watercolour painting and then lastly I glued it to my collage.
