For my final project of the second marking period, I was assigned to create anything I wanted in Adobe Photoshop using advanced techniques and tools within the software. I chose to create a piece out of many unrelated images to each other. I did my research by looking for high quality images that I could use in my piece. After I gathered the images I started sketching some ideas for the project with the images I chose.
After I had an idea of what the project might look like, I fired up Photoshop and created the document. I went through all the images and using the pen tool, I outlines the subject of the images copied and pasted them to my main document so I would only have the parts of the images I wanted to use (this took a long time given the complexity of the outline of some of the images). Next was to arrange the images and the layers in the proper way so everything would look right. For some of the images in the foreground (like the tree and the stop sign) I had to make shadows by making a copy of the shape, filling it with black, lowering the opacity and stretching it and moving it so it would look like its shadow. I added the shadows so the images would look right and not stick out in a bad way. To wrap up the images and make them blend a little more, I changed the some of the colors and applied a filter in order for the image to have a consistent color scheme. Whenever I felt stuck on my current project I worked on a "mini project". These "mini projects" were some images that I would write a movie quote over it and made it look like something I would see on a website or someplace else.
