Assignment #3-Photmontage
1. Using only two objects or environments combine them so that the new composite is more than the sum of its parts.
2. Using at least three source images and text create a photomontage that communicates a message about a political or social issue that you are concerned with.
This was a montage I put together a few months back. It originally a picture of the two kids sitting next to a gnome. I tried to think ‘what is scarier than a gnome’? I put this photo together with Macromedia Fireworks MX2004. I’d been using fireworks for the past five years and always had felt like I should switch to Photoshop. This class gave me the oppurtunity to do so and matts tutorials made the transition that much easier. The switch was inevitable since Adobe bought Macromedia this summer and I can only imagine they’re going to scrap fireworks. Photoshop is a much deeper program and do enjoy using it.
He scares me too.
