PROJECT #6: DIGITAL COLLAGE
DIRECTIONS FOR COLLAGE.
Create an image collage with at least EIGHT+ cut out and combined elements.
TO THINK ABOUT:
1. Create MULTIPLE LAYERS. There should be a layer for each of the following:
-A layer mask that includes a painted mask for some element in the image
-Cut & Pasted element(s) (layers that are comprised of single cut-out elements)
*Layers should exist and indicate that you used that layer during the creation of the final image.
2. Your final image could include the following in some way:
-A gradiant
-Text/numbers
-EIGHT+ Cut-out and assembled elements (not including text)
3. To get you thinking & working...
-Create new layers with different elements
-Cut & paste images parts into what will be your final image
-Select using the LASSO & MARQUEE SELECTION tools
-CLONE STAMP
-PEN TOOL
-Gradiant layer - that is sliced/cut out.
-Play with perspective, size, opacity, blend modes, filters...
-Text...in perspective...half erased/cut
4. Your THEME and/or PLAN (start here)
