Yesterday I began to create my digipak, I think it was inevitable that I was not going to stick completely to my plan. I decided against using a picture of Mac Miller that another photographer had taken. I decided instead to take a screen shot from one of his videos. That way, I could gave a picture of Mac Miller but be a bit more original. I began the lesson by print screening different bits of different Mac Miller videos. After about half an hour of doing this I looked through the screen shots I had saved. I decided I liked this one the best:
I opened it up on photoshop and decided to incooperate my earlier ideas by drawing colours around the figure of Mac Miller. I created a new layer and used the brush tool to draw around it in the light colours I said I would, like this:
Then I began to add on layers, like this:
I played around with the colour pallet to find lighter/happier colours like I'd planned, I liked using the pallet because it was easier to change the tone:
A shape began to form and after an hour or so, it looked like this:
While I thought that this looked nice, I realised that this was not enough to write about in my exam. So I decided to blur the people in the background. I did it by highlighting the background and using the blur tool, then changing the amount of blurriness.
So after those few hours, this is what I had achieved.
Next lesson, I hope to explore photoshop tools more and widen my range of knowledge of photoshop.
