In depth analysis of my face - front cover

In this post, I will be explaining how I applied various effects to my face so that it looked correct on the front cover of my music magazine. Here is the image:


The first obvious effect I applied to my face is the acryilic paint effect. This was very effective as it gave the image a homemade look and a retro appeal. I also used the lighten tool in order to make the face look more vibrant and eyecatching. At first I didn't really like the look of it as it looked out of place, but after adding all of the features of a front cover, it looked like it was supposed to be there. The second effect I used was on my neck and was the enhanced blur effect. This may seem like an odd effect to use although it worked very well with the paint effect as both effects merged in together. The blur also made the focus on Edge's face so that that was the key area where the reader was looking. Finally, I used the colour replacement tool to enhance the orange colour of my hoody. This made the page as a whole look brighter and more like a magazine cover.
