Raasch,+T-Texture



For this final combine 3 project, I used leading lines and fill the frame for my final picture. The leading lines were the fingers from the hand. They lead you through the picture. Fill the frame was used because in the whole frame there was an object filling the space. Also, the texture that I used would be sort of bumpy. This comes from the leaves in the background. Smooth would be another texture I used. The berries on the hand had a smooth touch to them. The focus of the overall picture was on point. The one thing that stood out to me was the color of the berries. They were a nice bright red, and they popped. I would say that they are the focal point of the picture. The 10 changes I made were first, I cropped the had into my background of the leaves. Then, I used the quick selection tool to crop out a flower. I added 8 of the same flower around the thumb and pointer finger of the hand. I also used the burn tool around the edges of the flowers. On some flowers, I used the blur tool to make it blend with the hand. Another thing I did was burn some of the edges of my background. The last change I made was, I changed the opacity of the flowers to 96%. If I were to do this project over again, I would take more pictures in general. I would take more of an open sky, or field, or graveyard. This way, I could use it as my background. I liked how the berries and hand looked together, but then I rushed to put the flowers in. They don't look blended at all. Next time, I would take more time to blend all the pictures together so it looks like one. Another thing I would do is take more time to play around with Photoshop so I knew what I was doing. I was sort of confused at first because it was such a new program to me. I've heard of it before, but never used it to create an image. Another thing I would do would be to maybe try to do a darker piece of work. Even though it might be harder to see the texture, I would've liked to see how it would've turned out if maybe I used a prairie for the background,and added in little details.
