In this raster project I decided to take a negative route in portraying Justin Bieber. I decided I would portray him in the future, (30-40 years or so) working at Mcdonalds. I did this to show that his pop star success will probably be short lived and once he looses his looks and beautiful hair he will most likely resort to working in fast food. Harsh, but funny. Justin is at the drivethru window at a Mcdonalds hiding behind wrinkles and a beanie cap ready to take your order.

I started out by finding a picture of Justin that showed the front of his body and didn't show his hair. I made sure he wasn't smiling to add a more depressed look, also to make it easier to add wrinkles. Next I found a picture of a person in a Mcdonald's drivethru window and made that a second layer and cut Justin's head off of the first and put it on there. I extended his chin and face with liquify and tried to make him as pale as possible. I found images of wrinkly skin online and cut from those layers to blend to Justin's face, in tricky places I used the paint tool to draw in wrinkles and then the blur tool to make them look more natural. I was faded his eye brows and eyes to add an older looking appearance and attempted to make the hands look older. The last finishing touches included finding a Mcdonalds logo to put in the window and just for fun I decided to add Ronald Mcdonald behind Justin. It is difficult to see but on the name tag I found a text that said Justin Bieber "Never say Never".
