Cross Processing

Cross Processing Edit
To create this edit I had to add a new adjustment layer and select curves. I then selected red and created an s shape in the colour levels, I then selected green and created and up and out colour levels and then I selected blue and created an s shape in colour levels. One I had done this I then created another adjustment layer and selected solid colour, I choose a yellow colour and made its opacity 21%. This then creates a washed out effect on the background. By doing these edits it creates a retro feel from around the 70's and 80's.

Zombie Effect

Zombie Effect
To create a Zombie effect on my photograph, I used the burn tool to darken around her eyes, then I used the darken brush tool to paint out the eyes and make them red. I then uploaded a new layer and selected a textured image which I could paste over the face, once I had choosen my image I copied it and pased it over the face and used 'Ctrl T' to adjust its size, I then made the image darken so that it blended in with her face, creating a scary burn looking zombie.

In Darlington one can see alcohol abuse is a problem. Recent studies have shown that hereditary factors plays a part in developing alcohol problems, additionally other studies have shown girls are more likely to binge drink than boys. In the last week, more than 700 young people have been charged for criminal damaged due to alcohol, these statistics have now made Darlington realise of the dangerous problem arising and have introduced Switch.  Switch is a team of drug and alcohol workers which help young people aged 10-18. They can provide alcohol misuse advice and information to help young people stop and reduce the amount of alcohol they consume.

Vampire Edit

Here I have created a vampire effect on photoshop. To create this effect I used the burn tool to darken around the eyes, the sponge tool to make her skin have a gray drained effect to it, and then used the magnetic lasso tool to create sterotypical vampire teeth. When using the magnetic lasso tool I had to click around the wall of the teeth, select edit, transform and warp, before I could change the shape. I then used the brush darken tool to colour her eyes in red.
