How I created my imageI covered a ball in newspaper then
photographed it to give me the base of
my image. I then opened this in GIMP (a photo
editing programme) to
delete its surrounding back ground making it
transparent making it look more like a
globe. I did this simply by using the circle cut out
tool.
How I created my image
I then went on the inter net to get a photo of a real
globe to use as a template to edit on
the continents. I then made this the same size as my
image and set it as a separate layer.
How I created my image
After that i used the ‘Scissor select tool’ i used this as you simply click around the edge and it creates the line along the line
of the image.
How I created my image
Next I put my cursor inside the
section which I had selected then
pressed enter, this turns the section into a selection rather than a cut
out.
How I created my image
Next I made my second layer invisible by
making the eye just on my photograph.
This shows the selection of the
continents from the globe onto my
photo,
How I created my image
Finally I played about with different ways to colour in the section of the continents, firstly I desaturated the selection making it black and white, however I felt that this didn’t
stand out enough. Next I used the ‘Colourify’ tool, I thought that this tool was much more effective in creating a bolder yet still slightly transparent colouring so that the
newspaper could still be seen. I then tried out a few different colours such as green and some shades of grey. I
then flattened my image and saved it as a jpeg.
