Photomontage: "Change" Exercise

Week 6 (Monday/Wednesday, Feb 11+ 13)
You must use Photoshop, and the Photomerge tool to composite your photomontage.

Experiment with at least 3 different photomerge blend settings (reposition, collage, perspective, spherical, cylindrical) as well as appropriate adjustment layers to improve contrast and tone. Save each exploration three separate PSD files.

Incorporate other imagery into your composite that may further support your narrative of "change". Be sure to use appropriate techniques to create a seamless implementation.

Be sure your visual scene supports at least one central charasteristic of an effective montage 1) create a single composition, giving the illusion that the elements belonged together originally, or 2) to allow each element to retain its separate identity as a means of adding meaning to the overall composition.

Convert your best photomontage exploration into a TIFF file (save in Photomontage Ex folder on the dropbox) for class review next class (Wednesday, Feb 13).
