Description This was a project in my advanced photoshop class (Read: Digital Image and Type Manipulation, officially)

mmm. Used 's little sister [link] as a reference, then popped in some longer hair, stuck on a different arm, made it gripping the hair, put it against this wall here, and wrote on the wall.

Yeah, I wasn't trying to be stereotypical with the monocrome...I couldn't get all the colors to match!

This is my first real photomanip, so have at it. Yeah, I know the girl is too small.

Psychological / mental abuse = the worst kind of abuse in my book.

this sums up my whole relationship with my brother, please don't just brush that off as 'sibling rivalry'

This is amazing.
You've done a great job.. Actually, the girl being too small works for it. Whenever words are used to hurt like that, it makes you feel smaller.
Very good job.

Wow... I don't know what to say, Woah... This is really incredible. It's a bit of a relief to know that the arm is photoshopped in because something in me thought it seemed a bit... weird. I dunno. It's awesome though.

Actually, the grayscale really works for me because it's aways used in child abuse awareness ads. It makes it seem like this is actually part of the campain--which it really ought to be.

Nice work, Woah.

Well, that and if you zoomed in on the arm you could see the hairs (I took the arm from some guy.)

Thank you. I don't often do manipulation, but sometimes it can be fun. Not something I'd post on MU, though.

i like the font choice; but with such distinct type styles, any letter used more than once looks exactly the same. it's distracting. if you take a little bit of time and adjust those letters a bit to make them more distinct, it adds a lot to your design. just someting i picked up fom my graphic design prof
good job for first manip, though. i like it

Yeah, that makes sense. I also could've changed up the opacity a bit on the lettering, but I did the actual type in Illustrator, and I'm still a bit unfamiliar in that program. (I just like the type-on-a-path tool, it's really handy!)

Thanks!
