Research and Planning: Model Make-over



The photo above is the photo I intend to use for my magazine cover. However, magazine research has shown that front cover models on a metal magazine tend to have many tattoos on show. While I am editing the tattoos, I figured I may as well remove any blemishes and spots to create a professional look. 

The first job was to remove the background. I used the quick selection tool to highlight the contrasting background and deleted the highlighted area. 

I then deleted any outstanding lines or curves using the rubber tool which the quick selection tool missed out, This tended to be around the T-shirt area. 

The tattoos where the next job. I used a you tube video as a tutorial to help me. After choosing suitable tattoos of the internet, I added them to the model by placing the tattoos around the arms and changed the settings of the image to a "multiply" setting which moulded the image around the arms. After the alternation of settings, I then removed any of the background of the tattoos still outstanding using the rubber tool. 

My model has a small grey patch in his hair therefore I used a brush tool (turning the opacity to 14%) and coloured the patch in using a black colour. 

After the hair, I used a spot removal tool to remove any blemished on the models face to create clear skin containing no spots or moles.

Finally, I used the brush tool once again and coloured the models teeth in with a pale white colour therefore meaning his teeth are white but aren't bright and standing out.
