Firstly, we decided that the background should be plain white as this would stand out without being too obvious and distracting. To do this I had to erase the previous background by using the
tool. To delete the background all I have to do is drag the eraser over the desired section. I could change the size of the eraser by right clicking it. Then to make all the edges of the face smooth, I had to zoom in
and then erase all the individual pixels. To make the background fully white, I right clicked on
and selected the bucket tool, selected the colour
then just clicked on the background and it would automatically turn white.
That was everything that needed doing on the picture for the time being, so next I concentrated on the snake's head. To remove the background, I used the same erasing method that i had used on the original image. Once that was done, I was left with the snake's head. To transfer it onto the original image, i used the arrow tool
and drag it to the space where the other image is being kept.
The snake's head was too thin and the side of the tongue could still be seen. So to make the rest of the tongue have the same scaled pattern as the snake, I had to take sections of the original snake image by using
and put them over the original tongue.
Once all the tongue had been transfromed into the snake, I had to add the text. After clicking on
and then iserting the slogan, title, date and time into the text box. Our writing was red.
To continue following the typical codes and conventions, I realised that we had to add the channel ident.
After isolating the 4 by erasing the background, I had to make it fit into the colour scheme of our products. We choose the colour red as we had used this colour for the text in the advert. To change the whiteness to red, we used the bucket tool once more. Repeated the same process as we did earlier and eventually our print advert was completed.
