Description

This is my first submission to Gfx Artist.

I took this photograph using an older digital camera (Olympus Camedia C-2000 Z 2.1mgpx) under 2 studio lights without flash. Photomanipulation in Photoshop included desaturation and re-coloring. The magnifying glass effect was altered to simulate a bifocal area which did not exist in the original image. Lensflare was added for effect.

Final touch included adding a digital signature 'mwnorris' along the base of the $100 bill.

The completed image was used in a local direct mail piece offering print services by a local printer and copy shop. Circulation was approx 3,000 businesses and individuals.
