How I Did My Poster: Images

For this image I turned the brightness- light down as well as the saturation which made the image black and white.


With the black and white filter option I moved the yellow levels to the right which made any yellow tones in the photo whiter rather than black or grey- there were yellow tones in James' skin and so that's why he's so pale.


I then coloured in his eyes using a black paintbrush on Photoshop

For the second image I did the same technique with the black and white filter, sliding the yellow levels to the left.

I used an effect filter which was called 'crayon and chalk' that created the texture within the image.

I then de-saturated the image to get it even darker and greyer.

I lost some of the bright-whiteness in his skin when I applied the filter and so I upped the exposure which brightened any white levels.

I added a 'posterize' filter to this which created a cartoon effect and then I did the same black and white technique.

I am going to print each of these out and ask people what they think/ which one they prefer. Personally I prefer the first one as I think it has the most attention on James' character.
