Text Book Re-design

So we had to redesign the cover to our text book. Here's what I came up with.

Russel Brand cut out

Some of the troubles I ran into when doing this assignment was remembering how to do it. It'd been a while since I've done it and I don't have Photoshop at home. So class time and any free time at school are really the only times I have to play with it.

Chosing a photo was initially the hard part, because I'd already done Troy Polomalu and I didn't want to do another image of him. So for whatever reason, Russel Brand strolled into my head and I chose him.

Setting the paths where I would cut out wasn't tough, but deciding where I should stop with the erasing of the background was tough because he had a lot of hair sticking out that wasn't in large clumps.

Overall I felt it went well, I had to look some stuff up so I could remember how to do it. However once I figured out how to do it, it became a breeze to do.

Troy Polamalu Cut Out

So I was supposed to take a picture with someone that hair and cut out the background. The first thing that came to my mind was Pittsburgh Steelers Safety Troy Polamalu in the Head & Shoulders commercial.
