INTITIAL

These images below are just my individual plan of how I wanted the ancillary to be 

HOWEVER we have changed this and made a group decision to use a different style of photos.

This is the initial starting point of how I would have liked my ancillary to be as I would put a smoke effect on the picture to make it look as if she is smoking.

However the group decided to change the ancillary task and make it a joint effort as time is not on our side.

Erase Tool

For the two pictures above the main tool I used on photoshop was the erase tool below to make the background clear and help me focus on the image being created.

Channel Change

I used a black and white filter to change the image from colour to black and white. I did this as it correlates with my research. I used the green channel as the transition was effective and the other channels presented a washed out image.

Colour Fill & Edit

I began by coloured in the bottom of the picture with a dark grey colour using the Brush Tool as the Rihanna picture I looked at showed this. Furthermore I used a light grey filter to fill in the rest of the white so it would be more effective in creating my smoke effect.
