Midterm - Portfolio Pieces 3 & 4

(originals 1, 2, 3, 4)

(originals 1, 2, 3)

For these pieces, I mainly used the poster edges filter for the backgrounds (the sea and the leaves). For the leaves, some color correction (contrast) was also done to enhance the colors). The man, octopus, and owl were created in separate documents first, where pictures of them were selected then painted over black to form the silhouette feel (same process was done to the tree trunk on the original tree image). Then they were brought in and placed appropriately on the picture. Lastly, the magnetic letters were brought in (after being altered with the xerox filter). For the tree words, the letters were rotated and skewed to get the effect of going up the tree.
