Halloween Spread

Halloween Spread. I edited the images on photoshop, and placed them in their places.

Novel Spread

I photoshopped the image of chains into the image of the eye in the window using the magic wand tool, and then used layers to place it where it resides at the moment, the window. I then photoshopped the image of the birds into the room also by using the magic wand tool, the same for the image of myself, and the barcode. For the image of the girl on the back page, I first found an image of an eye with crackled skin around it, and used the lasso tool to select the areas of the girl where I wanted it. I downsized the eye with crackled skin and brought the shape of the selected areas and copied everything in it. Then I brought it back to the girl and pasted it, and changed the opacity levels. For the Hello Kitty she's holding, I used the magic wand tool to add the spatters of blood, and once again changed the opacity, then I deleted the blood where it went on the girl. Then font was added, I didn't do anything special to it, but I changed the angle of the image to put my name as it is. I just added random words to make myself sound like a big shot, the description, and reviews are my words. The author's portait can be explain in the post underneath this one.

Portrait, October 21 2010

First, I desaturated the images (and for Alyssa, I changed the colour balance a bit), then I created a new layer, and applied a surface blur. On the new layer, I changed the opacity, and the flow to something less than 100%, and I erased parts on the hair, eyes, and mouth to make it look sharper. I then used the lasso tool, and selected the eyes one at a time, and sharpened them with the unsharp mask.

September Light Duotone

I made this image into my September Light project, and then I switched it into a duotone as well.

September Light

I didn't use the rule opf thirds when I took the picture, but I used layers to enhance the dramatization. I didn't use the leading lines either. But the shadows are darker, and more blue than they originally were, and the sunlight, and beams are warmer than normal.
