Paint.Net: Breakout Image

Paint.Net: Breakout Image

Breakout images are used throughout advertising to demonstrate action.  If you've seen pictures of a baseball player jumping out of a picture, an animal flying out of a picture, etc., you've seen a "breakout image".  Sometimes the breakouts are out of all sides (see image on right) and sometimes they are just leaving one or two sides of an image (like the example below).

In this example I used a marble texture as a background and warped the corner of the picture to give it a bit of an upturned look.

 

 

  

Step By Step Instructions:

 

Step 1: Find a picture that will work well with a breakout.

 

 

 

Step 2: Select the area of the background you want to preserve, then SELECT > INVERSE and erase everything except the breakout subject of the picture.

  

Step 3: Add a background such as wood or marble or dirt.

 

 

 

Step 4: Add a new layer (behind your subject) and draw a rectangular marquee which you will fill with white to give the impression of a photo border.  Then select the subject layer (in this case, the whale) and go to LAYER > MERGE DOWN (or CTRL+E).

Paint.Net - Project Frankenstein

Okay, this is one of the more bizarre Paint.Net projects I give.  :)  I call it "Project Frankenstein".
In this project you will gather pieces of faces from different people, and then composite them into a single image.  You can choose male or female, young or old.  You will take one persons head... anothers eyes... anothers mouth... and anothers nose.  Just so you know, it's almost impossible to do this project without making something "creepy." It's amazing how you can take [what you consider] the most beautiful eyes, the most beautiful mouth, the most beautiful nose, etc. and put them together... and it's hideous.

You can start with Google Images or use pictures of your family or friends.

Or you can go to s:Share\_Bucci\Paint.Net\Frankenstein

Some tips...  

• On Google Images click "Large" for size.
• On Google Images click "Face".
• Start with a large picture of a head as the base to put the pieces.
• Select pictures where the hair isn't covering the face.
• Pick faces with approximately the same skin color.
• Pick faces with similar lighting (i.e. from the same side).
• Use your eraser tool to blend the features in.

 

Note: The question I often get during this project is: "When will we ever be taking different pieces of peoples faces and sticking them together?"  The answer is, probably never -- but this project teaches the skills necessary to smoothly merge images, focus on shadows, adjust color saturation, etc.  It's not the project I want you to perfect, it's your technique.

Good luck!  I'm looking forward to seeing your "creations".  :)
