Assignment: Mash-up photos that I shot to create a message for my viewers
Craft: I used photoshop to cut photos out of one picture and paste them into a different one. I combined 4 different photos together. To accurately cut out the photos I hide the background layer and fused the eraser along with the marquee tool. After cutting the photos I used the scale to make the photos look realistc in the new background. Next I used paint to make one of the layers appear as if it were behind the other. Finally I used the brightness/contrast along with hue/saturation to match the colors of the photos because they were taken in different light.
Compostion: If I were to change one thing about my photo I would change the composition because most of the action is taking place in the lower part of my photo and there is a lot of extra background that is wasted space. To change this I will either add more people playing games to the upper region or somehow crop that area and bring the people playing games tighter together to control my viewer's eye more. This is one of the photos I might add to my final mash-up because I think another recreational game will bring the focus off athletics more because the 3 of the 4 pictures are of athletics.
Concept: My combination of photos is a tribute to games. Games are awesome regardless of who is playing or what the game is. Everyone should play games because games are fun.
