Creating Pop Art

We'll create a pop art design using an image of the singer shown below.

Create girl selection using lasso tool press Ctrl+Shift+I to inverse the selection. Press delete to remove the outer area. Now duplicate the girl layer twice.

Select top layer. From image menu select adjustments>>threshold.

Apply settings as shown.

Since the t-shirt of the girl is white color we can't see much effect in t-shirt area. For that we'll remove the T-shirt area from this layer and apply threshold again on the layer below. Create selection of the girl's body using lasso tool.

Press delete to remove t-shirt area.

Select the second layer from top. From image select adjustments>>threshold. Apply settings as shown.

Fill the background with yellow color.

Hide the girl layers. Draw tile shape using custom shapes.

Duplicate this layer many times. Scale and rotate randomly.

Unhide the girl layers.

Fill the tile layers with different colors.

Play around with the layer modes of the different tile layers to get an interesting background effect.
