Photoshop

This is a post about me explaining how I worked on my digipak on photoshop.

1. First of all I have chosen a picture and put it into photoshop, then I have decided thaat I didn'y like the background so I thought I will try a black back ground.In order to make the background black I used a brush and painted, also so I could only paint the background I has to cut out xenia at first. After that I though I could give Xenia a little make over, so using differenet brushes I put more eye and lip make up on so that she could look more fresh.

Them I decided that I wanted to add text but because this picture looks quite simple I didn't want anything too niticable, I just wanted simple writing, so I chose Lucida Sans Typewriter because it looked interesting but at the same time very simple.

2. When I finished doing the picture and the text, I have decided that it looked boring when it has only writing and the picture. So I thought I could make it look a little bit more interesting and unique by adding a piece of contrast on Xenia's face. This also represents the white and black masks so this makes it quite mysterious.

3. This is the way I have made the little piece of contrast on Xenia's face and I have tried different colours to see if maybe other will suit but at the end I have made the decision to leave it like this.

4. This is the way I have used all the brushes tools to make the background black and do a make over for Xenia so she could look a little better. 

5.When I have chosen the other image I though I needed the theme to be matching so that it looked like it was meant to be like this. So I have selected Xenia with a magic wound, which is a tool, so that I could play with changing settings and colours. Also I have adjusted the picture itself to another color, if you look at my previous post you would be able to see the difference.

6. So then I made a new layer and played with colours as such and made her in purpely and orange color. Then I thought it doesn't really match the theme, so I have decided I want to see what else I could do to it. Then I changed it to black and white but you could see that it was Xenia and then I have decided that this was too simple and changed it to the contrast black and white where you could only see the outline of Xenia's body. 

7. On this picture at first I have changed the brightness and made the tree shadows more visible. 

8. Here I have changed the colour of the picture so that it could be a bit more darker and could give the picture an even more dramatic look.
