Rainbow Cut Outs

I took pictures of all four of our eyes. I used the custom shape tool to make the star cut out and a layer mask with that. I put a rainbow gradient over the eyes on overlay, then I used the gradient again on the top lay but inverted the colors.

Pamela Wilson

Pamela Wilson does her art in a realism style. This painting is called "Some Bullets Are Special" on oil linen. She does a lot of people in her paintings with dramatic makeup.

Christina Aguilera Inspired

Instead of making Alicia robotic I went with a nature theme. I made her nose a mushroom upside down. For her lips I took two pink petals and warped them into shape. I overlayed bark on her face. I added a little hole at the top to make it more like like a tree, with a little caterpillar coming out of it.

Monet Style

I used a large combo of Filter Gallery effects and change of blending modes. I applied filter gallery effects to the whole thing, then used a layer mask to make sure they were only on me or the wall. For the last part I copied merged and used a lens blur to make it more soft and turned the opacity down.

Live Eggs

I took six of Alicia's silly faces and put them on an image of eggs. I made each face a group to keep it more organized and easier to work around. For each face I mostly used a layer mask, match color, different blending modes and colors. I used the clone tool a lot to blend the human skin and the egg text together. I used a clipping mask and the dodge/burn tool for shadows.

Panarama

I took three images of the junior parking lot on a nice sunny day. Then I uploaded them into File > Automate > Photomerge. I chose the "auto" one so that it would figure out how to place them itself. I cropped the finale image so that there were no white spaces.

Chairs



For the top chair I used strips of various famous artist's paintings then used the burn and tool to make it more 3D.  The second chair has Van Gogh paintings on it, with the original seat cushion showing. The third I used Seurat paintings. Since it was already a solid color with shadows/highlights, I just desaturated it and put the blend mode to overlay.
