The Russel Brown Challenge
Project Overview:
Photoshop guru, Russell Brown shared his likeness via social media and challenged the design community to give him a costume. This project gave us an opportunity to apply the tools and features we have been exploring, especially selection and the portrait retouch tools. The provided image is forward facing, so I used a costume image that was as well. This image fills at least 85% of the canvas size so the edits have more of an impact. The "after" image should is recognizable as Russell Brown, just in costume.
Image used of Clint Eastwood was downloaded from a Newsweek article at: https://www.newsweek.com/best-1970s-movies-according-critics-1094848?slide=20. Image used of Russel Brown was provided as part of this assignment.
The above image shows the layers created during the editing process.
