KEEP IT SIMPLE SILLY PT1

The Title says it all, I still hear here voice saying that in the lecture class, and thats how I did my calender pages. I kept it simple by using only basic masking techniques.

I realized you don't need to be pro on PS to do decent and good pages. So lets get started with my first month which is MAY

I only used 2 pictures and the template which all of us decided to use as the calender's face. So this is the pictures and the template:-

My plan was to get a picture with a the head of a freaky person and a compilation of different characters of well known series

<As you can see I was lucky to get this picture as it had everything I wanted it to have. So without doubting it I went with it



 Alright, the template was discussed for along time, we wanted something
that represents the whole calender and blends with it at the sametime, I gave an idea of a cage which on second thought was dumb as it did not mix with others, but this one perfectly matched with everything

Actually, this is a remodelled version of Raymonds old wanted poster theme thing, but this had no wanted poster effect to it what so ever making it blend with anything KRAZY ;)

SO, here is my character

 She or He (I have no idea =P) is like a devil's servant in hell (I think), and her eyes caught me, It was so cold that I wanted to use her.

So I set on my computer as usual to experiment, Let me tell something about myself. I think more than I do my work, I might think about my work for weeks while people try to work for the same amount of days. I come up with ideas doing this easily. So fellow classmates, dont think about ideas when you dont talk. (Walking, Jogging, Playing, Laughing) Anything.

*TIP- Make sure you always have a small notebook that can fit in t you pockets and write the ideas you get, I used to do that but I got lazy =P

SO ANYWAYS,,,,

AND I DID THE SAME WITH THE OTHER PICTURE AND TEMPLATE AND EXPERIMENTED MYSELF ON A GOOD COMPOSITION

BUT, I FELT LIKE IT MISSED SOMETHING IN THOSE AREAS, SO I TOOK THE BACKGROUND PICTURE IN TO A NEW FILE AND CROPPED SOME CHARACTERS BROUGHT THEM BACK INTO THE MAIN FILE AND MASKED THEM HOW I DID WITH THE OTHERS. REMEMBER PLAY WITH THE LAYERS TO GET THE RIGHT MASKING TECHNIQUE YOU WANT.

REMEMBER FOLKS, this is how the crop tool looks like, I dont know the shortcut to it (never have been a keyboard guy even though its easy), but this helps you to cut in a hurried manner, Well I wasn't hurrying I jufelt it didn't need to be cut neat as I was going to mask it like the others so there you go

THIS IS MY
FINAL PIECE
