Designed for Sale: Buster Keaton Playing Cards

I designed a deck of cards for sale by the International Buster Keaton Society. The project required a lot of Pixlr work.

All of the gold frames were created from a single picture of a heart-shaped frame.

Composite -- hands from one shot, face from another.
I also had to expand the table downward and the wall upward.

The shot cut off the top of Roscoe's cap.
I pasted the top on the hat and expanded the wallpaper upward.

The screenshot was in very bad shape and needed a lot of cleanup.

Cluttered background photoshopped out.

Photoshopping

Slack-time boredom first led me to learn PhotoShop when I was working at the Denton Publishing Company. Photoshopping became an official part of my job when the main Photoshop employee developed carpal tunnel syndrome and was under doctor's orders to limit her use of the mouse. When she needed a break, we'd switch work stations and I would be the one to adjust colors and modify art to satisfy our advertising customers' needs.

Though I can't afford PhotoShop for my personal use, I discovered Pixlr and have enjoyed myself immensely with it. Thus, for your enjoyment and mine, an assortment of my projects.
