Earth and Eye Exercise

This was our first lesson using photoshop.
we used two pictures e.g earth and eye to create this image.

we first opened up photoshop and opened up A5 sheet.

Next we went on Flickr found the earth and eye picture and target grab them by typing cmd-shift-4 and this will capture the images. Once I done this I can drag the picture from the desktop and layer them both.

 We also had to use a tool which would crop/ delete the earth’s background, which would leave just the main detailed part of the picture we need for the "eye pupil". After we done this we used another tool which reduces or increases the size of the clicked image, therefore we followed the same size of the eye ball and reduced the size of the earth which made the image the same width and length. I also used a blending tool which made the earth blend in with the eye therefore becomes a very interesting eye ball. Our main idea was to make the iris effective and standout by editing the image. Therefore we used a tool on the left which changed the main iris a turquoise blue and using brightness/contrast made the image bright and eye catchy. Then using another tool changed JUST the background black/white, this made the turquoise blue STAND OUT.  The picture we created was very effective and we were very pleased with the result.
