¡Quinta Asignación! = Fifth Assignment!

My apologies for not updating this assignment up earlier.

So yeah, I took quite some time to complete my profile picture for my Facebook group which is 'Support Peta!'

I had a whole lot of ideas to mix around elements but I chose to make it as simple as possible.

With this, I took about 4 hours to actually create my face and background in relation to what my group is all about.

It wasn't as stunning as I expected it to be, but it was satisfactory to me.

In this assignment, I decided to use these 3 pictures to merge them altogether:

The Background

My Face

The Foreground

During the process, I initially took quite a long time to experiment with the tools in Photoshop.

I wanted to see which examples are the best samples and goes well with my Facebook group.

I used Move, Zoom, Lasso, Air Brush, Eraser, Air Brush and also the Clone Stamp.

Then I played around with the Hue/Saturation and the Colour Balances.

Not to forget, I mixed the foreground with the background using the Darken Blending Mode.

Adding warmth to the background was a nice mixture to the colour preservation of the foreground while adding film grains to the picture.

Last but not least, creating a type at the bottom right of the pic, adding a border/frame and sharpening the picture sums it up.
