This document describes how to create a Julian Opie style portrait using Photoshop. A photo was taken with a webcam and colors were replaced with samples using the bucket tool to give a monochrome effect. The document also details how various Photoshop tools like layers, magnetic lasso and bucket were used to recreate Blur's album cover as an exercise to learn the tools.

1. Julian Opie Style Portrait
This image was created by taking a photo using the computer's built in
webcam then replacing the general colour of the various parts of the image
with a monochrome affect by taking a sample colour and using the bucket
tool to replace the textured, real life, affect.
During this exercise we used Photoshop in order to make our own version of
Blur’s iconic ‘Greatest Hit’s’ album cover. I was able to learn how to use a
variety of Photoshop tools including: layers, the magnetic lasso and the
bucket.
