PROJECT 4: 'SCAPES
RATIONALE.
To practice and focus
skills in Photoshop regarding layers, placing/rasterizing, adjusting
color/value, edit+transforming selections, selection tools.
TO DO.
Use multiple photographic sources to create a believable -or- surreal photographic composite image that illustrates an understanding of perspective.
Create THREE separate 'scape composite images.
Create THREE separate 'scape composite images.
Use very high-resolution
images (1000x1000 minimum) from image searches.
See links below.
*Make sure you set your image search parameters to finding large files.
THE THREE IMAGES.
1. Each composite will be a combination of separate images/elements.
2. IMAGE ONE must be a LANDSCAPE (no people or animals).
3. The other TWO composites can be a
landscape, space scape, city scape, or interior space, and include people/animals/food/landscapes/etc.
CONSIDER.
Sometimes the more
images you use the more interesting your piece becomes.
Have fun with it, but
make sure you create SEAMLESS additions to your overall image.
Your final images
should look like a photo was made (that’s the goal).
WHAT WILL BE DUE.
IMAGE ONE: A LAND 'scape with only LAND elements (combine FOUR+ land elements)
IMAGE TWO: A SURREAL 'scape that utilizes animals, humans, objects (SIX+ elements)
IMAGE THREE: A SOMETHING 'scape that is entirely of your own creation.
