Portrait Editing Project!

1. Split Faces/Famous Couples


Alrighty then, time to get weird. With all of the good work we've done with portraits and faces, let's put our editing skills to the absolute profile/portrait/personality test!

Start with a "famous couple". Whether in history (King Richard the 8th and pick a wife, any wife), the movies (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, the Notebook) or Celebrities/Politicians (Brad and Angie, Prince Edwards and Kate) our goal is to find a couple that we can then merge their faces.


Let's start by finding the images of the duo and making a new file at 180 PPI, and a height and width of 8x10" whatever way you deem necessary. Do your FIVE edits you do to every image and then immediately right click on the layer and duplicate it. From there you will use your layers and erasers, blur tool, clone stamp, spot-healing, patch tool, etc. etc. to "combine" the faces.


















2. Two Faces, One Head


Weird? Yeah, but this is a studio art class and this collage effect has been used in movie posters, graphic design, digital art, etc. and is a worthwhile one to explore.


Let's start by finding an image of a person (Celebrity, Social Media, you, etc...school appropriate) and making a new file at 180 PPI, and a height and width of 8x10" whatever way you deem necessary. Do your FIVE edits you do to every image and then immediately right click on the layer and duplicate it. From there....
