Step by step process

  • Firstly, opened up and A3 sized canvas as that is the scale I am working to.
  • I began by making a new layer and cut out my model using the magic lasso tool.
  • Then looked on the internet for a background, selected the background and moved it, until I was happy with the positioning.
  • I then changed the contrast to make the background darker so it wasn't over powering. Next I used the blur tool to make my model stand out more.
  • I looked on the internet for a spring, then used the 'quick selection' tool to high light it and the put them near the legs.
  • To make the legs look like there part of the springs, I had to select the legs and use the rubber tool.
  • I then searched the internet for a pair of basketball trainers. Quick selected them and changed the contrast to make it fit in with my model more.
  • Next I researched the internet for some batteries in a packet, changed the contrast and the capacity to help it fit in with my model.
  • Then researched the internet to find different colour wires and used the magic lasso tool to highlight them to paste on a new layer. I attached the wires for it looked like it was coming from the battery to the springs, I did this by resizing and rotating the wires. 
  • I searched the internet for a motor bike engine, used quick selection tool, pasted it on a new layer, and changed the capacity to make it blend in more with the body. I had to resize the engine to make it fit better and I had to rub out sections.
  • Next I searched the internet for a computer circuit and changed the capacity. From this I dragged it up near the arms and I could now see which parts needed rubbing out. 
  • I search the internet for cogs, used quick selection and copied on to a new layer. I then duplicated the layer to make more than one cog. 
  • Finally I research the internet for a basketball net. I used the magic lasso tool to select the areas I was after. From this I had to rub out sections in the middle so that you could see through to the background. 
  • I then saved my work as a JPEG and made the quality as high as I could.
