We're will immortalize the iconic Bob Marley on a wall of bricks - graffiti style. Graffiti has come a long way until that sound argued by some respectable of works of art was and is still regarded as brutal and destructive in the public sphere. The number, it is very expressive and lend the images/text forms powerful representation.Same goes for this tutorial where we apply as layer masks and blend modes to merge an image such as Bob Marley, grunge with a brick wall.
Start a new transparency with an image of Bob Marley in your choix.Ouvrir
document with set to 1280 x 1024 px document size and 140 cm/pixel resolution.

Go to image > adjustments > hue/saturation and increase the saturation value of 100.

The reason to increase the maximum saturation has been intense emphasize shadings .j face ' also have image resized to reveal potions transparent background.

Headquarters image > adjustment > hue/saturation still or
Press Ctrl + U to Hue/Saturation.Cette time dialog box reduce the saturation to-90.

If I had just chosen to desaturated completely gray-scale image, the image would have seem to have a faint bluish tint.

Bob Marley: The Untold Story

We apply now a raw mosaic effect by going to filter > texture > mosaic in menu.Définir size 27, Grout width to 4 (which determines the size of the cracks) mosaic tiles and lighten Grout to 7.

The result:

We now apply the filter brick tiles mosaic effect that
would be well understood but pleasantly and, therefore, merge, create a more convincing rough
composition of the wall of brique.Sélectionnez filter > texture > texture mapping and click
the pulldown for brick texture and set the parameters below:

The result seems better to have one left out texture filters.

But if you can't find a brick wall smaller, the better.I was interested in this wall because of the uneven was the brique.faites drag image texture brick to the main document window and place it under the "Marley" layer.

It has been delibrate that parts to apparent when brick wall
Marley image resized previously.Also resize the image of the bricks by
by pressing Ctrl + T for free transform mode.Hold the
SHIFT key, drag the corners of the image scaled down all retaining
its original proportions.Press the Enter key when done.

Set the layer "Marley" hard light blending mode and reduce its opacity to around 45%.

With the color of foreground black value by pressing the D key, select
the brush (B) as a form of spatter .augmenter its diameter approximately 153
PX and the brush options bar reduce opacity 90%.

Click on from the left, the third icon at the base of the pallet layers to create a mask layer for layer "Marley".Maintenant paint around the contours of a head of Marley and his face, particularly areas of menton.Ne reveal completely bricks (except for the edges of the image) while missing paint.

Select the gradient tool (G) and set the colors constantly color, as shown below:

On the gradient tool options bar value then the radial gradient
Drag the Center to the left.

Define Graidient layer to soft light blending mode and its opacity to 75 %.Et we're through! Jah Rastefari my.

Here, I play with blending modes and opacity to find a
variations of the couple.Celle below is a favorite of mine; Marley image is much more
defined, but still it combines very well with the mur.Ici "Marley" blend layer type has been set to hard light and reduced to approximately 60% opacity.

Pass, a brick texture filter effect has been applied to brick image to get the result shown below:

Now it's finally, another change the blending mode set to vive.Les details here face light are more pale and watch your choice of highlighted, while fourth blending modes through.Whatever brick orange-brownish color depends on your personal preferences.
