To me, there's something iconic about this tower; I thought it would work well with a version of the Andy Warhol look. First, I converted it to B&W, then posterized it with two levels. I used the Magic Wand to select just the black and made the selection into a brush. I created rectangles in different colors, and just clicked once to put the image of the tower on each layer. I put them together and added a black border around each image. I played with a lot of different colors, including primaries, but (maybe because the original image was taken at sunset) I liked these best.Wednesday, February 4, 2009

Looks great. I don't know how you select so well - mine always seems to be really uneven,
ReplyDeletesounds too complicated to me but I love how they all turned out, esp the yellow!
ReplyDeleteThat's really good! Much more interesting than a single tower.

ReplyDeleteThese photos remind me of pictures from very old hand drawn and coloured schoolbooks.
