                                      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.
