Manipulating images-Cover

In progress

After taking all of my images, i found that they didnt reflect the theme of my magazine effectively. Therefore I decided to manipulate some images in order to make the appear more effectively representative of the theme. 

My cover image was actually made up through a combination of two different images. This is because one of the images had the fist which looked most effective and the other image had a better facial expression. Therefore i simply cut the fist out of one image and copied and pasted it as a new layer on top of the other image. I then simply erased any of the background around the fist. 

Once this had been completed, i decided to alter the models hair colour to reflect a more punky and rebellious style. To do so i created a new layer and selected the paint brush tool. I then altered the opacity of the tool in order to ensure the models original hair was visible through the colour. I then selected scarlet red and simply painted the models hair. Once this was done i decided to erase any of the excess paint which had gone onto the background and onto the models skin. Therefore i selected the eraser tool and erased around the models hair line which create a very neat and tidy effect. I finally flipped the image horizontally to make sure the the first was on the right side of the image.
