Graphic designer’s picture quiz #3 with hidden famous faces

Graphic designer's picture quiz #3 with hidden object

How many famous faces can you spot, who are they, what’s the background they’re superimposed on?

I did this to illustrate an article I wrote commenting on the music industry. I used paths, marquees with a feather of two pixels and a brush eraser with a hardness of 0% to cut out the heads. It’s usually best to go for a layer blend mode of Hard Light or Linear Light with an opacity of 80 to 90%, or Normal with an opacity of 60 to 70%. The idea is to be able to see the layer on top and what underneath it equally to merge two images.

    The background is from a work called The 12 Archetypes or The 12 Faces of Humankind, painted by Tammo De Jongh in 1967 and it appears on the album cover of King Crimson’s “In the Wake of Poseidon”. King Crimson were a 60s and 70s prog rock band from England. Here it is in all it’s glory.
