For the montage project, I created an image that combined four pictures to make an intense scene of field hockey. I absolutely LOVE to play field hockey. I cut out two of the images and shaded in some shadows. Then i flipped the image of field hockey sticks and flipped it around several times to create the top image and erased the bottom portion to blend it into the picture, then i used the smug tool to blend the top portion.

Poster Project

For this project we had to create a poster of images that described where we came from. I'm from just outside of Philadelphia from a town called Bryn Mawr. The image on the top left is of a forest near my house called "Skunk Hollow" where my friends and I spend a great deal of our time. The image on the bottom right is of a garden called "Chanticleer", and it is one of my favorite places to go and relax and have a great time, while enjoying the gorgeous landscapes. On the bottom left is a very popular place to eat called "Joe's", where they make the BEST sandwiches.

Every summer back when I was a kid, my family would travel to Poland, since that is where all my relatives are from, so that was a huge influence on me and how I perceive the world. The picture on the top right is of the capital of Poland, Warsaw. Also as a child, my parents were always busy, so to explore the world I would ride my bike everywhere. I made the phrase up to sort of help express the kind of person I am. I love being outdoors and exploring new places, and the best and only person i can be, is myself.

I choose this image because why should you take life so seriously? Everyone has a crazy little monkey in them trying to get out. I thought that it looked like a creative picture, where the monkey is surrounded by piles of peaches. The monkey seems to be in a jail cell and peaches is all that he gets. The only walls that hold you back are the ones that you put up for yourself.

I used photoshop to create this image, by going on the web and found images that I wanted to use. Then I cut some of them to make them look like they were further back in the picture. Then i cleared out the background colors of some of the images with the magic wand so that they look like they are apart of the new picture i'm making. I also used the eraser to erase one of the peaches so that you could see the monkey's foot to make it appear in the background.
