#5 Photoshop: Layering

Using the pen tool, i cut an image of one of Alexander McQueen's catwalk designs/model.

It was my first time using the pen tool, and

I nearly killed my arm cos I was so tense and nervous...hah

a but you get used to it! =] I started out with the first image, and the result of using the pen tool is shown below:

During class, we played round with photoshop layers. using the image we cut out, we added a background, text and a shape & this is what I came up with:

For this layer, I placed the image on top of the background and typed "reptilia" on the side. The elliptical shape has been filled with an orange colour and then changed to "soft light".

For this layer, I free transformed the model and made her larger, so that not her whole body fit onto the page. I used a filter and texturised the image.

This layer, the elliptical shape has been on top of the background, image and text. The background and image have been made less transparent.
