At our lesson number 4 we were playing with demonic portrayal of celebrities a bit more. Our today’s target was Gerry Ryan. We learned how to use adjustment layers to give him the reddish tone of skin without actually changing the original picture, how to invert the colour of his eyes and how to use the clone stamp tool to give the poor guy few extra nostrils. We also used the pen tool to draw the dripping blood on his lips. After saving the image as an jpeg we were done with the defacing.

But not for long!! As Niamh (our teacher) obviously enjoys ‘having fun’ with celebrities (no insult intended!
) our next assignment was to pick a celebrity and portrait him or her in a positive or a negative way. I decided to ‘play around’ with Britney

This is really good Monika – You did an excellent job on the eyebrows and the blood is really believeable. Not sure why he has 4 nostrils though!

Well done Monika, good use of iconography, I especially like the voodoo doll! Keep up the good work, Niamh
