Westenberger-+3+textures



1.) To create this image, first, I started with selecting my feet from a picture I took, using the **Polygonal Lasso Tool.** After I selected the legs, and shoes, I changed 'background' to be layer one. 2.) The second thing I did was placing the water tower into the picture. 3.) After I placed the water tower into the picture, I selected the sky and deleted it. 4.) After the background delete, I changed the background to be a picture of the tennis courts. 5.) I turned the **saturation** up on all three images, but to different levels. 6.) I darkened the shadows on the water tower using the **burn tool**. 7.) I deleted the middle of the sun and put my face in the middle of it. 8.) I put Charles, Parker, and I in the top corners of the picture. 9.) I cleaned up the edges so they weren't so squared off. 10.) I used the **polygonal lasso tool** to clean up the colors and **levels**.

In the final combined photograph, I tried to make the point of focus my feet, and the water tower, but almost immediately the focus goes to the people in the corners and my face in the sun.

The texture that I tried to put in the picture was the saturated sky.

In this project, the concept was that I wanted something that looked definitely out of this world, so putting my legs up, making the sky different colors, and putting my face in the middle of the sun made it apparent that this isn't real in any means.

If I could change anything in this project, I would have warped the water tower and my feet so it would look even trippier.
