Pop Art Techniques

This photo shows how an ordinary image shows a pop- art image. This is shown by using a new layer with a different colour for the background. Without using different layers you can't create the pop- art style. This also makes the image look cartoon like which is kind of the effect of pop- art. This one from my research looks like the most simple one I have collected because it shows a simple photo of pop- art with the techniques used.

http://www.photoshopessentials.com/photo-effects/pop-art/- This link shows how an ordinary image becomes a pop- art image. It shows all of the techniques on how to create the perfect image which I like. It follows a step by step on how to create  a pop- art image in simple steps.
I have had a little try at the moment and it hasn't worked as well.

This is what I have created so far to do with how to create a pop art image. At first my work didn't turn out well but now it looks more like the website. He looks like he is heading towards the death side due to the colour red to have a go at using the pop- art style. I kept having the trouble of having the two images mixed together to create one image without deleting. It was annoying me and getting on my nerves. I have struggled with the rest of how to create the pop-art image as I am not used to photo- shop. I will have to carry on in my lesson when I will know what I am doing as I don't from this website. This is because the words used are harder to read. This is my try out that I have tried with the photo of my dad. It hasn't turned out as the best that I have wanted it to.
