Exhibit 9: Blended Beauty

Background

For our ninth exhibit, we were given the choice of doing anything we have learned so far from the class. I decided to use a previous photoshoot and incorporate new techniques I have learned thus far in the class. 

Photoshop

For this exhibit, I used prior experience and watched a video on how to blend two images together.

Design

The design I went for here was to be able to apply the blending skills I learned in this section and make something new and different. I like abstract and surrealism so I wanted to make this design along the lines of that. 

• Contrast was used in the black and white of her and the color of the mountain. 

• Repetition was applied when blending her to the background to make it look like it flows together. 

• Alignment here was important because I wanted to get the mountain and water to be the secondary focus while not removing the main focus from her. 

• Proximity was having her be the center focus and the blending be the second thing you see. 

• The color scheme was using whites and blacks to give contrast with a bit of blues, reds, and oranges.
