This image was created using only Adobe PhotoShop 4. It formed the front of a birthday card that I sent my father. It is built up from two scans (both shown below), one recent (used in the background) and one not so recent (the foreground). The background was simple to construct. The face was Masked, Scaled, Copied and Colourised many times. Once large blocks containing a number of differently coloured faces were created, these were pasted all around the page until the background was complete. The foreground was also simple to create with only the background of the original scan removed.

The text was created with the use of a Shadow Mask and the Neon Filter.
