Before and After (Honig Experiment)

Before original photograph of me (Plunge, Lithuania).
Development process of wolf recreation.
After initial result of wolf recreation.

This is a Before and After experiment with transforming me into a wolf in the original shot.

A photograph was used to create this piece. All facial birth spots were eliminated with the healing spot tool and then overlayered with the healing brush tool. After successfully overlayering the mouth and face skin, the dodge tool was utilised to brighten up the eyes and a black pupil was recreated. To make the hair in the photo look like wolf fur, it was overlayered and extra shadows were deepened with a burn tool. A pen brush was used to draw in the ears, nose, and lips, and a charcoal brush was used to create texture. The component was cut out and put onto a background image when the final detail was successfully added. The photo was taken at Plunge, Lithuania, during the Christmas season.

Culture Jammed Anti-Advertisement

This is an Anti-Advertisement collage promorting against smoking with the contrasting colour palette.

To create this piece, I cut out a cigarette (Adam Sherwin, 2016) and a little animal (Campaign n.d.) to demonstrate the hopelessness of smoking and how someone you admire can encourage you in living a healthier lifestyle. With a brush, the original words were masked and the words “I don’t need those” were added on top. Berlin Sans was the typeface used in this advert.
