2. I covered a ball in
newspaper then
photographed it to
give me the base of
my image. I then
opened this in
GIMP (a photo
editing
programme) to
delete its
surrounding back
ground making it
transparent making
it look more like a
globe. I did this
simply by using the
circle cut out tool.

3. I then went on the
inter net to get a
photo of a real
globe to use as a
template to edit on
the continents. I
then made this the
same size as my
image and set it as
a separate layer.

4. After that i used
the ‘Scissor select
tool’ i used this as
you simply click
around the edge
and it creates the
line along the line
of the image.

5. Next I put my
cursor inside the
section which I had
selected then
pressed enter, this
turns the section
into a selection
rather than a cut
out.

6. Next I made my
second layer
invisible by
making the eye just
on my photograph.
This shows the
selection of the
continents from the
globe onto my
photo,

7. Finally I played about with different ways to colour in the
section of the continents, firstly I desaturated the selection
making it black and white, however I felt that this didn’t
stand out enough. Next I used the ‘Colourify’ tool, I
thought that this tool was much more effective in creating
a bolder yet still slightly transparent colouring so that the
newspaper could still be seen. I then tried out a few
different colours such as green and some shades of grey. I
then flattened my image and saved it as a jpeg.
