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
