Duck

At this point I started with a

yellow duck mand used the
magic wand tool in order to
outline and select the parts of
the duck which I wanted to
change; in this case it was the
body. I used the hot key Ctrl+U
in order to bring up the hue and
saturation menu and changed
the bright yellow to a vibrant
purple.

When drawing the pond, I made a new

background and used the paint bucket to fill
in the background a bright blue for the sky, I
then used the paint brush tall to draw the
grass and then increased the sharpness of the
brush for the tree by using the tools settings. I
then decreased the opacity of the brushy and
did the leaves and other details of the tree.
Then using the elliptic marquee too, marked
out an area to be the pond and filled that in
with a darkish blue. Finally, I added the purple
ducky and used the transform option to make
the ducky a bit smaller as it was too big for the pond. By copying and pasting this duck you can use
the transform option to make them smaller, becoming baby duckies.
Old Photo
I used the spot healing brush tool in
order to remove the damage from
the old photo and used the clone
stamp tool to repair any damage
that is too great to be fixed with the
spot healing brush tool

I then used the polygon lasso

tool and selected an area I
wanted to colourise, in this
case it was his hair so I marked
out the outline of his hair and
closed off the lasso tool and it
gave me a black and white
outline that I could now
colourise using Ctrl+U. I then
did this for his suit and tie and
then I was done.
Jar head

I first started Jar Head by selecting

the jar image and using the rulers on
the side of my screen to line up the
edges of the jar I wanted to select
and then used the elliptic marquee
tool to select the rim of the jar.

secondly, I used the quick

selection tool to then outline the
head, making a copy of it and
pasting it onto the same image.

After that I then lined up the jar

head with his normal head and copy
and pasted it multiple times while
erasing the chin to give the illusion
that it is inside the head below it
I then
and used Ctrl+T
finishing to then
it off with thetransform
regular
the jar to make
head at the bottom. it the right size for
his head. Afterwards I turned off the
background and used the eraser to
get rid of the part of his head that
was sticking over the jar. And then
by right clicking on my jar layer I
then clicked merge down to make
the two images one.

Cherry bite To remove the forehead of the

background so the jar head picture I
merged could sit there I used the
stamp tool to copy the surrounding
area for it to look more natural.
To start off this image I used the
polygonal lasso tool to make an
outline of the lion’s mouth and then
used the move tool to then select it
and move it to the cherry layer.

I then moved the cherry and bee to the

background image and the moved the
lions mouth onto the cherry. I used the
eraser tool to then remove the half of
the cherry that was under the mouth.
Using the blur tool I blured the outline of
the mouth to make it more seamless and
then blured the bees wings to make it
seem as tho its moving. Clicking on the
background layer I then clicked
filter>blur>gaussian blur and then made
the background blury.
Destruction

For this image I used the

quick selection tool to select the
dome without the sky or the
tower section of it. I then used
the polygonal lasso tool, to the
select squares of concrete to
make it look like its been through
years without maintenance and
that its started to decay. I then
used the polygonal lasso tool
again to select a section of
rubble the I used behind the
dome. The rubble was too bright so I made it look more natural by turning the brightness of it down
by using Ctrl+U.

Using the quick selection tool I

selected the buildings in order to cut
out the blue sky and then used the
same too to select the top part of
the building and copied the selected
part, deleted it and pasted it again
so it would become a new layer.

Next, I copy and pasted rubble

into the gaps in the building
and turning down the
brightness by using Ctrl+U.
after that I made a new layer
and filled it in with a deep
muddy red and clicked on
filter>render>clouds and then
used transform>perspective
and pulled the top two tabs
apart to make it look like the
sky was getting further away.
Using the burn tool, I then
made the buildings look as if
they had been on fire.
