In ordeR TO CREATE THIS IMAGE, I FIRSTAT UPPED THE CONTRAST ON THE ORIGIONAL PHOTO AND MADE THE PICTURE MORE VIBRANT SO THAT THE PEDALS ON THE CURB WOULD SHOW UP NICE AND BRIGHT. THEN I ADDED TEXT TO THE IMMAGE. THE TEXT SAYS " GO OUT AND GET LIFE. BECAUSE IF YOU WAI FOR IT TO COME TO YOU, YOU WILL GET NOWHERE." I CHOOSE THIS QUOTE BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS VERY FITTING BECAUSE IT IS A QUOTE ABOUT LIFE AND A JOURNEY AND THE PICTURE IS REPRESENTATIVE OF A JOURNEY BECAUSE IT IS OF A ROAD. I AM REALLY HAPPY WITH THE FINAL OUTCOME OF THIS PICTURE. I THINK EVERYTHING FITS TOGETHR VERY WELL. ONE THIN I HAD TROUBLE WITH WAS MAKING THE TEXT GET SMALLER AS IT GOES DEEPIR INTO THE PHOTO TO CREATE DEPTH. BUT ONE I FINALLY GOT THAT I REALLY LIKE THE TURN OUT.

Surrealism

This is so surreal.

HAHA

In order to create this photo, i used a lot of clone stamps and and layer masks. The peacock at the top and the Cigarettes at the bottom and the piano keys on the road are all layermasks. Where as the flower and harry's face and the sun above his face are all clone stamps. Other than adding layermasks adn the clone stamps, there wasn't much editing that i had to do. The one thing i did edit was the contrast.

This assignment was a pretty tricky one for me. I like to show things as the look in reality, and not so much what something would look like in a dream. But the techniques, after i got them down, were not too difficult for me. The reason i chose the pictures to mix together was because none of them really had anything to do with eachother. They are all so random, which is exactly like a lot of my dreams. Most of the things in my dreams never have anything in common, so that is why i chose to use pictures taht really make to sence for them to be together.

Filter

To create this masterpiece, I first enhanced it by brightening the photo. Then to make the filter, I first selected my brother, Hunter. Then to make it so that the background was the object to get the filter, I clicked inverse, which selected the background. Then unter the filter tools, and choose artistic setting and chose the cutout selection.

My feelings to this photo are positive. I like that the background looks kidna like it was painted.. it makes Hunter look more real. I really didn't have many difficulties.
