Evaluation:

In evaluation, some of the techniques used above turned out better than others. The final outcomes above are more suited to specific subject areas. For instance, I would be more likely to use the 'Liquify Hue/ Saturation' and 'TV Grain/ Selective Colourisation' techniques than the 'Liquify' tool unless I was working towards an extremely abstract idea. 

Technique:

Liquify/ Hue and Saturation: I began by using the 'Quick Selection' tool and selecting the outline of the person. I then went to the 'Hue/ Saturation' tool and chose a colour that was variant from the original. Next, I went to the 'Filter' section and chose 'Liquify' and I liquified the colour layer so that it was reminiscent of animal print.

Stain Glass: I began by going onto the 'Filters' bar and selecting 'Filter Gallery' where I then used the 'Stain Glass' effect which I manipulated so that I was satisfied with the size of the sections and that the image was effectively changed enough. 

TV Grain/ Selective Colourisation: I began this technique by using the 'Quick Selection' tool which I then used the 'Inverse' tool so that the background was selected which I edited into 'Black/ White'. The next step was to visit the 'Filter' tool where I chose 'Pixelate' and the specific tool 'Pointillize' where I then manipulated the 'Cell Size'. The cell size I chose was 8. 

Posterise: The posterisation technique is one of the most simply that I used. I began by selecting the 'Filter' tool and accessing the 'Filter Gallery' where I then chose the 'Posterize' technique. I then played with the slide bar until I was happy with the outcome of the image. 

Liquify: To access the liquify technique I began by selecting the 'Filter' tool, where I chose the following three tools 'Liquify', 'Spherize' and 'Pinch' under the 'Distort' tool. I manipulated the image until it was abstract enough to appear different from the original image. I edited the whole image but payed specific attention to the face and head to create an almost alien like appearance.
