Photoshop Composite Image

Our media class started using the software "Photoshop" to slowly learn how to use it by composing an image of a soccer player scoring in the field.

I was assigned a task to create a composite image on the software to show my expertise using the application. I decided to instead of creating a composite image of a scenario, I created a graphic design with a drawing from my art class.

The first layer consists of the outline of the original design. I used the drawing i had and traced it on "Illustrator", and afterwards brought it to Photoshop. Filled in some of the colors to start out with the "Magic Selection Tool".

Second Layer i used the "Magical selection Tool" and chose the gradient tool to add different colors to the skin of the dude, glasses, and also the vampire mouth. Then used the Brush tool to manually add shadows to the elements.

Third layer represents the background of the design. I selected the Gradient tool and did a blue and pink contrasts for the background. After i did this, I went on filter, pixelate, and selected color halftone to create the pointillism for the back. Afterwards i duplicated the word "YEAH!" over and over in pink and changed the blend mode to screen to create that feeling of it fading out or having contrast with the points.

Lastly, the last layer is just two rectangles in selected place and changed the blending mode to difference to create a cool look to it.
