Updated! with Face Tutorial

Well, I finally had some free time to update my blog. Just bear with my ramblings for a while, yeah? ;) Just thought I wanted to share my process of creating my banner.

Inspiration:
I'm into hardcore and punk music so naturally black and white images came into the picture.

Step 1:
Create new file; size: 640x480 pixels. Crop image and paste in the new file created. (see image below)


Once cropped, I altered the image using several tools:

Brightness/Contrast (Image>Adjustments)
Cutout (Filter>Artistic)
Film grain (Filter>Artistic)


Then I added some text and voila! The end result is the one currently in use. Thank you for your time! p/s: Remember to use layers for different parts of your project!
