Music Video Montage

Firstly, i found a music video and screenshot my favourite images. I then placed all pictures on canvas and blended using the eraser tool by adjusting the opacity so it's like a blur. Layer blending modes to emerge the images.

Photoshop Montage

Photoshop Stencil

                                                                                                                                                                            Firstly, i went on google images and searched for a background image and an image of birds flying and saved them. I then opened them both in photoshop. Then i went to image>adjustments>curves and adjusted the curve. I made the darker areas darker to create a silhoutte. Then i selected the magic wand tool from the tool bar and selected the black area. Then i went to menu>inverse then pressed the backspace key to delete selection and go to menu>deselect. Then i selected the paintbrush tool, clicked on colour swatch in tool menu which opened the colour picker then selected black. I adjusted the brush size then selected the eraser tool, using paint brush and eraser i edited the silhoutte. I then took the image of the birds and used the magic wand tool to select the areas of the image required. I then selected the paint brush tool and clicked on the colour swatch tool. Using the tool i filled in the selection made by the magic wand. I moved the image of the birds onto the silhoutte and positioned it, clicked on background layer, open and unlock, selected the magic wand tool, selected the white area on background layer, select menu>inverse. Deleted the the selection by clicking backspace. I then went to Layers windows and create a new layer. Clicked colour swatch, selected bucket tool, clicked bucket tool onto the image, went to layer window and made another new layer, selected the required collous, selected elliptical marquee, created a circular selection, selected bucket and finally, clicked bucket into the circular selection.

                                      Mona Lisa Graffiti

Firstly, i went on google and found a picture of the mona lisa that i liked and another of an underpass. Then i opened the mona lisa image on photoshop. I opened Image>Adjustments>Threshold then changed the threshold level to 90. Then Filter>Artistic>Palette Knife and changed the stroke size to 2, the stroke detail to 3 and the softness to 7. I then opened the underpass image in photoshop and used the move tool to move the image on the mona lisa onto the underpass. Then Edit>Free Transform and adjusted the size. Then, Edit>Transform to make the perspective of the edited mona lisa in relation to the walls of the underpass correct. Then i went to levels down the right corner and changed it to darker. Finally i used the erase tool of a soft setting to soften the edges. 

Illuminated Lettering

                                       Illuminated Lettering

Firstly I scanned my original artwork onto the computer, then saved it to a USB stick. Then I opened the scanned picture in photoshop. I adjusted the levels, increasing the contrast slightly. I then cropped the picture to postcard size, 15x10, I also changed the image size to 300. I then went to file>new and adjusted the size of the the file to normal A4 size. I dragged the first picture onto the A4, then continued to adjust the contrast of the picture further to create another version of the picture. Then I adjusted the hue/saturation to complete the picture, I dragged the second picture onto the A4 to have both completed images on one file. Finally, I took a screen shot of the final image to upload onto my blog.
