After having our first meeting today, our group, TwoPointSix came out a primary idea of our calender design.
Animal Crossbreed.
Thats our primary idea!
This is our maiden try-out by using Adobe Photoshop CS5.We are going to combine an elephant with leopard skin and this is the final product.

First and most important is to find the proper source images. I chose these 2 because it is fun and interesting. Since I liked the high contrast color of the leopard, I decided to use the actual fur and "mold" it over the elephant's body.
So with that said, I extracted the leopard and pasted it into the elephant file on a new layer.
NOTE: It's a good idea to use a hi-r es image because when you're stretching pixels, a low resolution file is going to lose its realism.

Step 1, create a new horizontal A4 file.

Step 2, paste the elephant file, then the leopard skin in a new layer.Then, lower the opacity of leopard skin and compare it to the elephant's background.

Step 3, erase the unwanted part by using the Eraser Tool (E).

Then, I'll add a background by using Adobe Illustrator CS5.
Step 1, copy the elephant by using Quick Selection Tool ( W ) in Adobe Photoshop CS5. After that, paste it on a horizontal A4 file in Adobe Illustr ator CS5. Then add a flower picture as background.

Step 2, create a frame using Shape Tool and Pathfinder Tool.

Step 3, Crop it out using Crop Tool and transfer to Adobe Photoshop CS5.

Step 4, add another new layer for adjustment of brightness and contrast of the elephant to make it pinkish and blend with the background.

100% Done !

This is the comparison of the original elephant and the pinkish elephant.

Heres another design that I made.
