Initial Idea for Final Design

For my final design I decided on the I dear to create an image of my self and make it look like i am decaying from life to death gradually.

 started by taking a picture of myself

I then Changed the levels or brightness and contrast on Photoshop.

Next to make the image more clear and less pixelated I changed the size image from 72 dpi which is for web design and put it to 300 dpi for printing.

Next I put  filter over the image to convert it to a black and which image with some texture in it. I did this my going to the to Filter on the Options menu at the top of the program. I then went selected Sketch pop out menu from the list of options and then selected Photocopy from the list of options from the next pop out menu. 

Filter > Sketch > Photocopy

I then experimented at first with an image from Google images

I couldn't find full information for accreditation but this is the website it is published on

I then layered the skull to the same size as my head on the photo, and put multiply effect/transparency on the image.

I quite liked the final image as I feel its very inspired by John Heartfield in the Black and white print and the image of death on a living person
