Week 6 Tutorial

Task: Download an image of a person which is (a) licensed using Creative Commons, and (b) allows you to make derivative works. Stylize and adjust the image towards a darker, sinister tone as seen in the movie Sin City.

Sin City

I don't feel I was very successful with this exercise. The background should be black and there should be lines through it. I found experimenting with the Curves effect was frustrating at times, simply because it would do something I didn't intend. The 'Sin City' look or Threshold effect in general is one of my favourite effects in photo-editing. I would use Threshold than the Curves function, as it is easier to navigate. Had I spent more time on this, it would be more successful.
