Graphic Image Editing process

Here is my graphic image. The first step of making my graphic image was to use the blemish tool to remove any kind of imperfections. Making the skin look smoother,

To make my image more emotional for the public I decided to make it black and white. Adjustments> Black and white

As I have changed the image to black and white I need to exaggerate the dark areas. This was done by decreasing the red tones a lot. Exaggerating the under eye area making it look like she has had no sleep.

Here is my final graphic image. Personally I really like how it turned out. I feel like it would create a reaction from the public. Showing that Human trafficking is still happening especially where you live but you don't necessarily suggest people are getting taken.
