Pointillize- Pixelate
Before
After
I find this a really interesting approach of editing because this was a shoot for Graffiti. Generally, Graffiti could be classed as illegal and those who do it should be hidden and I find this way of editing does this effect quite well. There is also symbolism included in this experiment because it has almost meant that my subject has blended into the wall and became graffiti themselves.
Personally I believe this technique is very similar to the photographers work Baldessari who manipulated his images in order to hide the subjects identity which I believe I have achieved here, just instead of just hiding the face, I decided to blur out the whole body as I believe this worked better as a final image.
The steps...
Using the selection tool, go around the part you wish to pixelate- I personally chose the subject...
Then click on the filter drop down clicking the Pixelate button then click on the Pointillize effect...
Choosing how big you wish the cells to be, you can drag the bar, I choose smaller cells.
