First layer

As I did the 'happy' emotion (top right) first I didn't know what to start with so I started with something familiar which was the lips. But as this went along I probably would have been more successful doing the lips further along which is what I did in the 'dark' emotion (bottom right).

Backgrounds

These backgrounds I have chosen really make an impact on what the emotion would be and and would set the colour theme for the piece. At first it was difficult to get a background for the 'happy' emotion (top right), the background was to small for the original, Mr Powell told me what the right size was and what I have now is perfect.

Plans

For this assignment I will be doing photos of Zahrah. I'm doing two photos of her to show two different sides of her, bright and colourful and dark and sad. I decided to do this because it would be good to gather photos and challenge myself in these ways.

These photos I've taken, the first one she is smiling and happy and the second one is a fake smile that shes forcing.

nearly finished

With my first photoshop of Zahrah out of the way I started on the second one. It was all going well but when it came to editing the things I added to it, it wouldn't let me. As Mr Powell was away I couldn't fix it I tried my best. With this happening I definitely think my first photoshop (happy) of Zahrah is much better than the second. I'm still happy with end product but I know it could have been better.

Step back

I had started my first picture of Zahrah, there were some difficulties but one afternoon my USB got wet and I lost everything! This did make me distressed but I started over looking for new pictures and starting it again. I think even though I had to start again it's even better now.

assignment

For my assignment I'm going to do two pictures or zahrah, one showing the happy and colourful side of her and the other showing the dark and sad part of her. To do this I'm going to change her eye, lip, top, skin and background colour to fit these emotions. 

Experiments

While Mr Powell was away and I had finished updating my blog I played around with some different experiments to figure out what I wanted to do for my assignment. These are some I did...
