National geographic

I was told yesterday we had to do a national geographic poster today, that had a picture of our face which would be manipulated to create a unusual image which is like the style of the magazine. So last night i had a play around with a image that i had, to play around with different effects and distortions to create a unusual image.

This image was achieved by selecting the features of the face which i then copied and pasted over the top of the original image. I then clicked on the background layre underneath and using the plaster tool got rid of the features to make it just look like skin, as basically the plaster tool is smart and takes in areas of its surrounds and adds a computer generated texture. Which makes it really look like skin. Then finally i re sized the features until they looked more unusual and intriguing. I then just blended it in by rubbing out with a low opacity and used the smudge tool. 

However this image i liked even more which was the a outcome of doing the past image. I just thought it looked much more raw and and like a image you might find on a national geographic poster.
