and simply honed my general photoshop skills by trying to retouch it. Here is the final image, I experimented some more with blur filters, dodge/burn and adjustment layers.
To create the pixelated fade effect that I pulled off in this image all I had to do was merge all layers that I had been working on, duplicate the background layer, add the pixelated "mosaic" filter to the new layer and create a layer mask using a black to white gradient.
Also, from this image I can very easily see the importance of calibrating the colour your monitor transmits. On photoshop the image is on the verge of purple whereas on the web, it is a much more vivid blue.
Recently I have been planning to create a very artistic image based on Nine inch Nail's "Art is Resistance" community/network.
here are some examples,
But since I'm running out of time I'm afraid I just don't have the resources available to start such a project. I will have to get round to it at some point over the Christmas holidays.
To compensate, I quickly and efficiently transformed the "Art is Resistance" logo/flag into something with more meaning and reason to the AIR cause.
I used similar means that I incorporated in my triptych image, such as the way I cut the images to fit the desired shape. For this image I used various stock images from sxc.hu and some others from more readily available sources such as google images. To finish the image off, I added Curves and Channel mixer adjustment layers to desaturate and alter the contrast and colouring in the layers. After that I decided some good old film noise and diagonal scan lines would top the image off nicely. After that short work I think I created an image that backs up the resistance's meanings and also displays my photoshop knowledge reasonably well.
