celebrity

To practice using Photoshop to edit peoples faces i chose a celebrity and made them look firstly ugly and secondly pretty, i did this so i could try out all my techniques so i could chose my best and most successful techneque for my final piece

My New Back Cover

For the back of my CD cover i have decided i want to use magazines to create a sort of collage on the back of my CD cover, i chose to do this as it would mean i would be able to use a wide range of different sources and materials to create my final piece. These images would be of people out of magazines to make my idea seem more realistic. also for my image so someone mad out of word i want to find bits in magazines about negative words/positive words for each one, i think this would be good as i could use the magazine to get my words from and it would be something i have not used for words yet in my project.

Words within People

Within my protected i would also like to collect words that people relate with good memories and words that people relate with bad memories and create two separate images for this, one good, one bad. these would be in the shape of my previously edited 'perfect' person and 'imperfect' person.This would tie my idea in with the brief 'memories and word' this would also be a different source used instead of just using computers, i could use people, and i could edit my own photos what i have made instead of those of people from the internet, this could achieve a higher grade.

chloes 'imperfect' face

for this image i used Photoshop to try out all my different techniques, these included techniques such as free transform around selected areas such as eyes noes and mouth, i took the color out of her skin and hair by using curves, i used the clone stamp to remove quantities of the hair to make it look thinner and i also added extra imperfections to chloes face i did the same with this one as i did with my first(research the qualities needed) and i applied them to my work, i found that is image took a while to get right because there was problems with trying to get the color of the skin looking dull but not fake, and like the hair looking thin but not so that you could tell it was Photoshop, looking at my image i feel like i have achieved this.

Chloes 'perfect' face

 i used Photoshop to edit my image of Chloe , i uses different techniques such as clone stamp,  to filling any imperfections on the skin and to also make chloes hair appear thicker and shinier, i used free transforms on the eye area to make chloes eyes bigger and more shapely  i also used curves and colour balance to make things such as eyes and the lips, i did this i researched every aspect that is supposed to make someone 'perfect' i used multiple sources such as books, the internet, personal opinion, questioning other peoples opinion, etc... as i did this i grew to find the overall features/aspects of someone that make them perfect and i used this to create my image, at first i didn't like the way my image turned out as i thought it looked quite scary, but in same way that was the meaning of my protect, to make a point that 'perfect' isnt always 'perfect' and this is what the outcome.

features

here are some of the features i researched for my image;

Most perfect eyebrows:

Eyebrows should be medium-sized, not too long or short. They should have sufficient gap between them, where your nose joins your forehead to form the 'T'. But, they should not be receding either. Scanty eyebrows can steal the beauty of your forehead and eyes. Arched shaped brows will give you a raised and curvy look. Neatly shaped, fairly thick brows look very graceful.

Most Perfect eyes:

Eyes are the most prominent feature of the face. They play a major role in forming facial expressions, as it is believed, that the eyes speak what the lips can't. Bright, sparkling, wide eyes (blue, gray or hazel colored) are a remarkable facial feature. Otherwise, black and brown eyes have always been considered beautiful and attractive. eye lashes. Thick, long and dark lashes, curled upwards, give your eyes that pretty look. Thick lids add definition to your eyes, making them more intense.

Perfect Nose:

A narrow nose with a pointed tip is very alluring. What makes it more attractive, is not having those prominent wrinkle lines (also known as smile lines), from the sides of your nostrils to the corners of your lips

Perfect Lips:

Lips are a very important facial feature. Full lips look enticing and luscious. A natural pout enhances the look. Your lower lip should be fatter than your upper lip. The outline of your lips should be a straight line and not a smudgy one. A good teeth set and jawline play an important role in the positioning of your lips

Prominent Dimples:

Dimples add a lot of beauty to your smile, making it infectious. Some of us may also have a dimple chin (also known as cleft chin). A mild disorder in reality, dimples have turned into a very likable facial feature.

Beauty spots/marks:

Beauty spots like moles, when present in the right places, add class to your beautiful face. These beauty marks are sometimes falsely created by people, using everyday cosmetics. The famous symbol of beauty, Marilyn Monroe, had a prominent mole on her face. 'The Monroe Piercing', has become popular as a piercing, that resembles the beauty spot that Monroe had

however with all these feature i obtain within this research, i created a person out of it and this as my result 

CD Cover Design (pictures/layout)

On my CD cover i have decide to, on the front flap, take a picture of someone and edit it using Photoshop to make it into the most perfect person, change the face shape, the eye color, appearance of hair/skin, etc...
On the second flap that would not visible to view until the CD cover is opened, i want to create to opposite  the most non-perfect person , i want to uses the same image but this time, i would edit it to look in-perfect.
 On the back of these flaps, what would be seen as its opened, I want to use typography to form the shape of a person, it would be made out of word, to get these words i would ask other people in my class to tell me what words they associated with good memory's  and what words they associated with bad memory's and i wold use all these words to form the shape of the person on the front of the cover. This would link my idea to the topic of 'memory's and words'

CD Cover Design

Over the past few week i have been deciding what type of CD cover i waned to use, and what i would put on it. this made me experiment with lots of different types of CD covers i would use. I decided on two possible options to chose from. These were the ones liked best. I couldn't choose between the two so i chose to combine the two ideas to make it different from others. i made a net for the particular CD cover i am going to use, i has a two overlapping flaps the open on to reveal a pocket, in which the CD would be located. I thought this would be a good idea as there would be allot of space for the diffident protects i would create.

My Plan

this is a rough plan on what ideas i am going to use, what im going to research and everything i would like to cover within this topic of 'memories and word' with my chosen theme 'perfection'

Typography Song 4

Typography Song 4:
                The Fray-How To Save A Life
Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
You begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you
And pray to God he hears you

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
How to save a life
How to save a life

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
How to save a life

Typography song 3

Typography Song Three:                      Fix You - Cold Play
When you try your best but you don't succeedWhen you get what you want but not what you needWhen you feel so tired but you can't sleepStuck in reverse
And the tears come streaming down your faceWhen you lose something you can't replaceWhen you love someone but it goes to wasteCould it be worse?
Lights will guide you homeAnd ignite your bonesAnd I will try to fix you
And high up above or down belowWhen you're too in love to let it goBut if you never try you'll never knowJust what you're worth
Lights will guide you homeAnd ignite your bonesAnd I will try to fix you
Tears stream down your faceWhen you lose something you cannot replaceTears stream down your faceAnd I
Tears stream down your faceI promise you I will learn from my mistakesTears stream down your faceAnd I
Lights will guide you homeAnd ignite your bonesAnd I will try to fix you

typography song two

Typography Song Two:

               EMINEM-sing for the moment

These ideas are nightmares to white parents

Whose worst fear is a child with dyed hair and who likes earrings

Like whatever they say has no bearing

It's so scary in a house that allows no swearing

To see him walking around with his headphones blaring

Alone in his own zone, cold and he don't care

He's a problem child, what bothers him all comes out

When he talks about his ****in' dad walkin' out

Cause he hates him so bad that he blocks him out

If he ever saw him again, he'd probably knock him out

His thoughts are whacked, he's mad so he's talkin' back

Talkin' black, brainwashed from rock and rap

He sags his pants, do rags and a stocking cap

His stepfather hit him so he socked him back

And broke his nose, this house is a broken home

There's no control, he just lets his emotions go

(Come on) Sing with me, (Sing), sing for the years

(Sing it) Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears (Come on)

Sing it with me, just for today, maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away

Entertainment is changing, intertwining' with gangsters

In the land of the killers, a sinner's mind is a sanctum

Holy or unholy, only have one homie

Only this gun, lonely, 'cause don't anyone know me

But everybody just feels like they can relate

I guess words are a ************, they can be great

Or they can degrade, or even worse, they can teach hate

It's like these kids hang on every single statement we make

Like they worship us, plus all the stores ship us platinum

Now how the **** did this metamorphosis happen?

From standin' on corners and porches just rappin'

To havin' a fortune, no more kissin' ***

But then these critics crucify you, journalists try to burn you

Fans turn on you, attorneys all want a turn at you

To get their hands on every dime you have

They want you to lose your mind every time you mad

So they can try to make you out to look like a loose canon

Any dispute, won't hesitate to produce handguns

That's why these prosecutors wanna convict me

Strictly just to get me off of these streets quickly

But all their kids been listenin' to me religiously

So I'm signing CD's while police fingerprint me

They're for the judges daughter, but his grudge is against me

If I'm such a ****in' menace, this **** doesn't make sense, Pete

It's all political, if my music is literal then I'm a criminal,

How the **** can I raise a little girl?

I couldn't, I wouldn't be fit to

You're full of **** too, Guerrera, that was a fist that hit you

(Come on) Sing with me, (Sing), sing for the years

(Sing it) Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears (Come on)

Sing it with me, just for today, maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away

They say music can alter moods and talk to you

Well can it load a gun up for you and **** it too?

Well if it can, then the next time you ***ault a dude

Just tell the judge it was my fault, and I'll get sued

See what these kids do, is hear about us totin' pistols

And they want to get one, 'cus they think the ****'s cool

Not knowin' we're really just protectin' ourselves

We entertainers, of course the ****'s affecting ourselves

You ignoramus but music is reflection of self

We just explain it, and then we get our checks in the mail

It's ****ed up ain't it, how we can come from practically nothin'

To bein' able to have any ****in' thing that we wanted

That's why we sing for these kids that don't have a thing

Except for a dream and a ****in' rap magazine

Who post pinup pictures on their walls all day long

Idolize they favorite rappers and know all they songs

Or for anyone who's ever been through **** in they lives

'Til they sit and they cry at night, wishing they die

'Til they throw on a rap record, and they sit and they vibe

We're nothing to you, but we're the ****in' **** in their eyes

That's why we seize the moment, and try to freeze it and own it

Squeeze it and hold it, 'cause we consider these minutes golden

And maybe they'll admit it when we're gone

Just let our spirits live on, through our lyrics that you hear in our songs

And we can

Sing with me, (Sing), sing for the years

(Sing it), sing for the laughter, sing for the tears, (C'mon)

Sing it with me, just for today, maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away

Sing with me, (Sing), sing for the years

(Sing it), sing for the laughter, sing for the tears, (C'mon)

Sing it with me, just for today, maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away

Typography Song One

Typography Song One:

                   Lewis Watson-Bones 

JUST OPEN YOUR EYES, NO DON'T BE SCARED AT ALL.
WE'LL JUMP OUT OF AEROPLANES AND THE LAKES WILL BREAK OUR FALL,
NO DON'T MAKE A SOUND BECAUSE I'LL BE WITH YOU THE WHOLE WAY DOWN.
AND I TOLD YOU EVERYTHING.

AND I KNOW IT'S QUITE SOON BUT YOU'VE GOT A LOVELY HEART
AND I HOPE THAT YOU FEEL IT TOO AND A FLAME FOLLOWS THESE SPARKS.
JUST DON'T TELL ME LIES BECAUSE I'VE BEEN LET DOWN TOO MANY TIMES.
AND I TOLD YOU EVERYTHING.

SO I'LL SPEND THE NIGHT LOOKING INTO YOUR EYES
BECAUSE I WANT TO REMEMBER THEM IF I EVER FALL BLIND
WE COULD JUMP IN THE OCEAN AND SINK LIKE STONES
BUT THAT'S OK WITH ME BABY 'CAUSE I'LL BE NEXT TO YOUR BONES

WE CAN SPEND THE REST OF OUR LIVES, BY THE OLD RESERVOIR.
LOOKING AT SATELLITES, WAITING FOR A SHOOTING STAR.
ALTHOUGH MY WISH HAS BEEN MADE AND I FOUND YOU, I'LL JUST WISH YOU STAY BECAUSE I LOVE YOUR EVERYTHING 

SO I'LL SPEND THE NIGHT LOOKING INTO YOUR EYES
BECAUSE I WANT TO REMEMBER THEM IF I EVER FALL BLIND
WE COULD JUMP IN THE OCEAN AND SINK LIKE STONES BUT THAT'S OK WITH ME BABY 'CAUSE I'LL BE NEXT TO YOUR BONES

3D image

i like this image because i like how it looks like its coming out the page, i think it looks really profesional, and good, this is the basis of the idea i want to use for my building, i want them to look like there standing on top of the page insted of looking like there just drawn on

IDEA CHANGED

My idea silghtly changed when i decided to continue doing perspective art, I reserched diffent techniques like 1-2 poin perspective and making something loojk 3d from one perspective. My idea now is to create 3d street and make the buildings and trees mixed together all lookj like there sticking  up out of the paper. i have still sticked to my urban vs rural theam, and i have always kepted my artist as julian beiver.
