Gold Tooth in Photoshop

The feedback from my initial front cover design told me to make the cover image look more suited to the hip-hop genre so I decided to make one of the models teeth stand out from the black and white as gold.To do so I looked up a tutorial on how to make objects look gold on YouTube (link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zGBsq7uF6w) and so learnt how to do it.

1) The first thing I had to do was select the tooth using the quick select tool, pictured left and then create a duplicate of the background layer to turn gold while preserving the original image. 

2) Next I went to image> adjustments> hue/saturation then selected colourise, so I could adjust the colour of the tooth, then moved the sliders for hue, saturation and lightness around until I found a balance I was happy with.

3) The next step was to use the dodge tool and go around the edges of the tooth to give it more shine/make it more realistic.

4) Then I went to filter> render> lighting effects to make the gold have more texture and shine and experimented with the sliders until I was happy with the result.

5) I then went to filter> render> lens flare and changed the brightness to look like light reflecting off the tooth.

6) Finally, I used the burn tool to give the tooth more texture as a final touch before it was complete.

Uploading Using Issuu

While trying to upload my Flat Plan I discovered how to upload documents to my blog in a magazine style using Issuu.

1) The first thing I did was convert my Cover, Contents and Double Page Spread Flat Plans into separate PDFs.
2) Next I had to merge the separate files by using a website called smallpdf.com (pictured below)

3) Once I had merged the files into one PDF (pictured above) I could finally then upload the document to issuu.com and create an embed code using their Embed Widget tool. (pictured below)
