Objective
Photoshop guru, Russell Brown shared his likeness via social media and challenged the design community to give him a costume. This assignment is the perfect opportunity to apply the tools and features you have been exploring, especially selection and the portrait retouch tools. It is challenging to find high resolution, copyright free images of celebrities, famous athletes or characters. Because most celebrity/athlete/character images available have been compressed for web display, we have some flexibility with the canvas size and resolution.
