FINAL TASK

1. Research

I did some research about self portrait Photoshop ideas on Pinterest. This makes me know where should I start my work clearly.

4. Digitalisation

The self portrait which I used to create poster.

Figure 4.1: Self portrait

I first crop my portrait to be bigger and focus on the upper part. Then I cut my forehead to make the flower effect.

After adding the blank sheet paper as background, I use pen tool to cut the mosaic image in a round shape and add roses. I added three different pink stripes at the bottom.

After adding my self portrait with flower effect, I added some elements like clock, wings and luggage.

Then, I use the font that I designed and created in Typography. The title for the poster is "The Light Shine - The Romantic Overthinker".

FEEDBACK

Crop the self portrait to be bigger. Mr.Hafiz said my work looks ok. Maybe "THE ROMANTIC OVERTHINKER" can be made bigger.
