Opie Self-Portrait 
1. I used a number of tools on Photoshop to complete my Opie self -portrait 
to the highest standard. The first tool I used was the magnetic lasso tool, 
which allowed me to outline certain features (hair, face 
etc.) in great detail to colour them. This feature was one 
of the most important to complete an Opie self-portrait; 
as it would be very difficult to outline individual parts of 
my face without it. 
The next tool I had to use was the colour picker tool. This was exactly 
what it sounds like; a tool 
which allows you to pick the 
exact colour of something that 
is already on the screen. This 
made it possible for me to 
choose the correct colour for 
the different parts of my Opie 
self-portrait ready for the next 
tool I used, the paint bucket 
tool. 
After I used the magnetic lasso tool to select the part of the picture and 
the colour picker to select the correct colour, the paint bucket tool was 
used to fill the certain part of the portrait with the 
colour I had chosen, making it another crucial tool when 
making an Opie self-portrait. It also allows you to fill 
whatever quantity of the part you want, as you simply 
have to click more to fill more. This was a very simple 
and easy-to-use tool which was also an important part of the task. 
The final tool I used was the text tool. This wasn’t necessary to complete 
the task, I just used it to personalise it slightly, writing ‘SAFC’ 
on the background behind me. The text tool allowed me to 
pick a font and the size of the text, as well as the colour and 
placement of said text on the picture. 
2. I didn’t really find anything about the Opie self-portrait particularly 
difficult, as everything was straightforward when making it. However, I 
did make a slight mistake when using the magnetic lasso tool, as I had the 
wrong layer selected when trying to draw around my hair. I soon realised 
my mistake and selected the right layer, after which I completed the 
portrait without any further difficulties. 
3. I feel I was successful enough in completing the given brief as every thing 
I had to do was completed in the allocated time. Every part of the picture 
was covered in colour, and I even had time to personalise the self -portrait 
even more by adding ‘SAFC’ to the background, as mentioned earlier. 
There are a few improvements that could be made to my self-portrait
though. For instance, there was times where I cut corners to save time 
when using the lasso tool on things like my hair. To improve next time I’d 
have to be more detailed, making sure to include every detail. I also could 
have maybe made the portrait more detailed by adding things such as 
creases on clothes shadow on the face, but as I was running out of time by 
the end I decided against it.
