Welcome to Lady Gaga week! Starting things out with a bang we are going to go through how to create Lady Gaga style horns she has been recently sporting since Born This Way has been released.

We use the brush tool to sketch out what we want, following the natural structure of the face. Then use the ability to refine edges to make better and more realistic selections in photographs. We also add highlights as well as shadow to make the shape more three dimensional. And finally, we go through how to duplicate the same shape, warp it, and apply it to another area of the face. .

In today’s episode we cover how to create Lady Gaga’s googley-eyes from her Bad Romance video using a few Photoshop tricks.

In this tutorial we will cover how to enlarge your eyes. There are a couple of important things to keep in mind when doing this. The first is that you don’t want to distort the pupil because if done improperly it’s an unrealistic indicator. The second is to keep a natural proportion of the eyelids so the eyes don’t look out of place. Using liquify we shape the eyes correctly, and also enlarge the iris’ to the same degree using the transform dialog. .

How To Make Lady Gaga Album Cover – A Phlearn Video Tutorial

Today we decided to change it up a bit by doing an impromptu photo shoot. It’s important to try to keep the photography juices flowing so you’re excited to work in photoshop every day. We decided to attempt a shoot style like that of Lady Gaga’s single releases (all black & white with basic text placement).

In today’s tutorial we start by converting the image to black and white. The main goal here is to have the photograph be very high contrast and is achieved by making the brights as bright as they get and darks visa-versa. Next, we discuss using a square crop for album covers and some option to keep you from losing information when you crop such as combining multiple exposures. Using basic type tools we place text in the proper place, and to make it feel like Lady Gaga we then singled out one letter by elongating its line. .
