Art Submission

This is my Submission for the art gallery I got the idea from the internet meme (pronounced mee mee) called “Forever Alone” because of the fact that the poor “subject” has no family or friends. I chose the background to be lightning because personally I think lightning is AWESOME. I then resized it and then burnt the image. I fixed up the colors using levels and color correction. Next I brought in the Forever Alone guy. I had to crop the white outline box to the best of my ability and then erase the rest so it was just the head; I then resized and sharpened the head to make it look better. I used 5 layers to complete this, 2 text, 1 the head, 1 the background and 1 for the background copy so I could mess around with the whole picture at once. During the process I had to adjust the layer order, the master opacity and change the blending of the face. The background was originally CMYK so I had to change it to RGB.  Cameron Mckeon
