Geometric Shadow

This is my project of the geometric shadows, the subject of a coin reflecting the shadow, I've taken all the picture. In this project, a lot of photoshop took place, I was trying to do the project creatively, So I ended up creating shadows and lights and the background. I was inspired by the quote "time is money", and its theme gives me the idea of creating something reflecting the shadow, at last, I choose coins because I couldn't find a way to have paper bills standing up. But as the idea processing, my theme tends to change a bit, the first image I tried to create a shadow from a different angle but it doesn't look right, doesn't match the lighting, so I ended up changing the shadow shape.

The effort I used in photoshop was time taking, first I took an image of a standing coin, and then I copied the coin image and adjust the position. And I shrunk the image and I deleted the space of the feet in a snowy picture, and copied a layer and filled it black. and I screenshotted the time at my laptop, and I cut out the shape and drag it into the shadow and deleted the spot. And I change the velocity on transparency, and I added blur to make the feeling that shadows are fading away.

Something I learned in this project is valuable. I learned how to use blending, and I learned how to use the fading tool, I learned how to create shadows using transparency and blurs. Something helpful I learned in this project is the use of the cutout technique.
