GRAPHICS DESIGN - HOW TO CREATE AN OPENED HEAD

The title sounds weird right? Well, I thought of a better theme, I just had to settle for this, "an opened head".

If you haven't discovered who is on the image, I'm saving you the stress, that's Lionel Messi. I've always wondered what goes on in his brain. His talent is simply inescapable. Football requires thinking and calculations, and how fast he does it amazes me.

Then, I thought of something, when opening that brain of his, football will surely be the first thing popping out. Then, I designed my thoughts.

I will be explaining how I did it.

Tools Needed:

• A mobile phone or a Laptop
• PicsArt App. It's available on every OS

First, we need to remove the image from that background. It doesn't look cool that way. It's just like a passport.

To do this, launch the App, find the image and click on edit. Click on "crop out" and crop out the image.

It might not be perfect, but it should be at least 60% perfect. You crop it out by shading it as shown below:

Now, we have our image. It's like a clip art now. PicsArt calls them stickers.

Next, Go to the homepage, click on draw.
Choose a background size, and continue.

Let me walk you through the process.

STEPS
Step 1: Select the image and place it on your white background.

Step 2: Click on copy, your image will be replicated. The new image will be on top.

Step 3: Drag the new image down and lock it. The eye symbol at the edge is what you should click.

Step 4: Click the circled icon and select a shape. You need a circle.

Step 5: Place the circle on the head, the part to be opened.

Step 6: Click on "Merge" and merge the two images together. Reduce the opacity to 60% at least. You need to see the part where the circle is placed.

Step 7: Choose a rectangle and place it on the other part of the image. This way, both parts are divided.

Step 8: Select a circle and click on stroke, the circle in the image above will be displayed. Place it on the head you want to open.

Step 9: Click the cleaner icon and erase irrelevant marks made by the circle. The line on the head is the only mark needed.

Step 10: Click on "transform" on the menu, you will be able to move the uppert part of your division.

Note: Both parts need to be in different layers. To create an empty layer, click on the "+"/symbol at the top of your menu.

Same image is reproduce on every layer. But, you can perform different functions on each layer.

The transform should be clicked on the layer you placed the opened head. With this, you can move the head.

Step 11: Select a "stroke circle" again and place it on the head region. Try to make it rhyme with the image.

Step 12: Place a filled circle in that space.

Step 13: Download a smoke clip art if you don't have one. Go to your menu, click on insert picture and select your clip art.

Step 14: Select a sticker, there are loads of them on PicsArt. Select a colourful smoke and place it same way it is done on the image. You can find the "select sticker" on the menu.

To get the final image, click the forward arrow symbol and click on " save and edit".

You can play with it, write a text, change the effects.

I chose "moonlight" effect and arrived at that final image.
