Into the Wild
This is my final submission for the Bieber Raster Exercise. I chose to put him in the woods with a pack of wolves hunting and eating bunnies. I want to convey the idea that Justin Bieber is an animalistic person. In this picture, Justin is living in the woods with a pack of wolves. The idea is that even though Justin is some pretty boy popstar by day, at the end the day he goes home to the filthy and dangerous woods where he lives with his wolf-pack family hunting and eating bunnies for dinner. Not so pretty now, are you Justin? Does Selena know about your double life? Do Mom and Dad have her over for wild deer for dinner and then some butt sniffing for desert?
Putting this together was pretty simple for me. I gathered the images I needed; wolves in the woods, Justin Bieber's body, and a nice little dead bunny. I began with the woods as my background and used the selection tool to take Justin from his photo and into the woods photo. I used the eraser tool to make adjustments on his body relative to where I wanted him to stand. Then I adjusted his contrast, noise, and all-over hue to make his colors and textures match those of the woods photo better. Then I added some dirt stains to clothes and face as well as a nice stream of blood coming out his mouth, all with various brush textures and blending options. Then I added in the bunny the same way I did with Bieber. I gave him a drop shadow and pool of blood with the brush tool along with some bloody scratches. For the caption I used Helvetica and the emboss filter. Finally I adjusted the colors and levels of the entire image to complete it.
Enjoy!
