Clone.

[Deeper]

OK guys, here's my second entry. It's called "Clone." the sub heading is "Multiply" in other words change your image's identity by multiplying it (dealing with photos in PS) using the clone tool to either take out an object or "Clone" it. (multiply it :) )

The Concept:

I took a little while to look through my tools in Photo Shop, to try and find the right conceptual Idea for this second entry. I scrolled through the tools and whilst the first Idea was the eraser tool, the word "Clone" popped out at me.

I started to think "what has to do with cloning? pools of water with a body in it with electrodes on his head just floating there? maybe a retina scan? oh!!! how about a thumb print with a thumb scanner behind it.

So my mind got working and I found the thumb print on SXC.hu.



The Execution

So as I got thumb print my mind started racing..."How will I do this?" I thought of making it a bright blue/green otherwise known as teal ( :D ) color with a glow. So I did that and it looked a little effortless.

I decided I needed to make this scanner screen in the background and take the thumb out of the white background it was embedded in (if you will) in it's original state when I had taken it from the screen. This took me quite some time, an 1 and 1/2 I believe. I extracted just the thumb print and decided to make it white.

So I made it white and put a dark green color as the background. I added white lines to the background to make it look like the screen and I also added a gradient to the green background to give it the affect that someone had put their finger on it and made a little digital mark on the screen.

There's a lot of detail that went into this design, to much to list or it would have taken a few pages of detail. But that is a slight look into the design process.
