I have edited this image of Jarvis Cocker for the main page of a magazine, i have used many tools and effects to get this final look shown below. First, I selected the outline of Jarvis with the magnetic lasso tool, i used this because it is accurate and fast, i then pressed cmd+J to duplicate the selected area, this means i can now put images in-between the layers and get the effect of the masthead being behind his head. i used the text tool and font size 18 to get the effect for the title, i wanted to make it look formal and professional so used the font Palatino Linotype, it looks really good and i think i will use it again for my final front cover. For the background, i filled it in with the paint bucket tool and then used a darker shade of purple and a special brush at a large size, this gave the hazy pattern in the background. The coloured jacket was easy to make, I made a new layer and then painted over the jacket with the paint brush, then used the overlay tool to make it blend with the clothing. i did the same with the shirt, but green. I inserted the images by copy and pasting them in, and removed the backgrounds from them by using the magic want tool, then deleting it.
Mark, you have successfully completed the task, although I think your final image would have benefitted from sticking to the original task. It would have looked more professional without the extra Jarvis Cocker heads and Tim Westwood. However, you have provided a good breakdown of the process you went through to construct the image.
