Photoshop Silhouette Project
You have TWO days you have to work on and complete this project.
Do you remember these old iPod ads?

This project is about creating a silhouette-over-coloured-background effect just like this (but without the iPod!)
Photoshop Silhouette Project
Your job is to produce one final silhouette Photoshop image. It must meet the following criteria:
- Use an image OF you that your partner took on Day 12. If you don't have one, go get one taken quickly. If you missed some classes and are catching up last-minute, use the sample image linked below.
- The body shape should be filled in completely with black, and all exposed edges (hair, clothing, etc.) should be well-outlined.
- You may use a solid-coloured background (not white!), a gradient, or any other combination of colours to create a cool effect
- You are also required to add a layer style to your silhouette. This can take the form of outer glow (most popular), drop shadow, or another effect that adds to the final product.
Turn in your before and after images to Classroom.
BELOW ARE LINKS TO SAMPLE STARTING IMAGES (only use if you are completing this project late!)

METHOD #3 - QUICK SELECTION + REFINE EDGE (POTENTIALLY THE EASIEST AND MOST ACCURATE METHOD)
Once you've made the selection you want, go to EDIT > FILL and fill it with black. Presto! Instant silhouette!
