Final Adjustments

Now I was working towards the final image
I placed a photo cut out of my hands holding a control pad and painted  in the light using the same technique for the screen and blended them witha layer mask into the background.

Then I placed the image of the playstation three (that I cut out) and placed it in  the corner, from there I duplicated,  rotated and flipped it horizontaly then lowered the opacity to give the impression of a reflection. 

Next I added a gradient to the background using the gradient tool ot add a smooth change in colour and trying to make the playstation stand out, I also added some extra clouds using a custom brush to try to add futher intrest.  

I wanted to add some futher effects to try to lead the eye from the screen to the console. I created this effect by drawing a path using the pen tool, wich allowed me to stroke the path with the brush tool wich gave me a smooth painterly line.

I wanted to add some of the iconic playstation symbols (the button symbols on the pad) along the line.

To do this I created the shapes in illustrator then applyed the 3D  effect to them then draged them into photoshop.

From there I selected the sides of the shapes and applied a gradient for a shiny mirror effect.

And then I finaly added the lens flair effect for a bright sunshine in the corner of the screen.
