PHOTOSHOP PROCESS

To create this image through photoshop I first cut out the image of the body from an image I took in the studio, I then added a linear light blending mode to make the silhouette white but still receptive to other elements. I then added an outer glow to the device he is holding to visually represent the glow from the screen. I then added a flat grid, firstly I warped the perspective through the transform tool and then created a wave-like shape using the liquify tool, I then selected a square from the grid, created a new layer and filled it in to create a platform. I then drew the scribble using the paintbrush tool with a linear dodge (add) blending mode with a soft round pressure sized brush to look like a line from a spray can. I then added an image I had previously taken of a plastic bag as a textural background and added a darker colour blending mode. I then added the wifi symbol with an exclusion bending mode, scribbled behind it with the brush tool, and then added two strips of tape behind it to help it stick out. I then added an image of a mouse cursor and overlayed bits of tape over top to make it look like it is stuck on. Then by using the brush tool at 5000pt, I created a soft gradient from the very left of the image fading to the right. I then added a border around the edge to crop in the images and placed a large piece of duct tape over the image and border. Finally, I made a new layer, flooded with white and changed the blending mode to difference to invert all the colours. 

For this image I started with the image of the face I captured in the studio and had then added a black and white filter, I then sliced his face in half through the eyes using the polygonal lasso tool and separated the top half from the bottom half of the face. I then added the image of the plastic texture with subtract and pin light blending modes to create a subtle texture over the face. I then added a white rectangle with a pass through blending mode with the plastic behind to create a subtle texture through the rectangle. I then drew the scribble using the paintbrush tool with a pass through blending mode with a soft round pressure sized brush to look like a line from a spray can. Then by using the brush tool at 5000pt, I created a soft gradient from the very left of the image fading to the right. I then created an 'x' shape from two pieces of duct tape I scanned in and placed over where the eye would be. Finally, I added two pieces of duct tape to the top and bottom of the composition with a pass through and a difference blending mode to create inversion over the multiple layers it overlapped.

I then added a human verification test with a difference blending mode, attached by two small pieces of duct tape placed in a group with a pass through blending mode applied to the group. Next I added the image I scanned in of duct tape. Then I added three warning signs with a exclusion blending mode, followed by creating a boarder and a white fill layer overtop with a difference blending mode.
