 The first artist I looked at was Annie Leibovitz. In her picture, the first one in the banner, she takes an ordinary picture and adds in something that would never actually happen. As you can see in the photo, she placed a picture in place of where the mirror should be. This indicating there is a different world on the other side of the mirror. The next artist I looked at was Jerry Uelsmann. His picture, the third one in the banner, is somewhat of the same concept as Annie Leiboviz's. He brings two very different pictures together into one to create a picture of something you wouldn't actually see in real life. These two artists have influenced me to create a series of pictures that reflect surrealism. The last artists I researched was Abelardo Morell. His photograph is displayed in the center of the banner. I picked this certain picture because he takes both the physical world and the imaginary world (worlds stories take place in) and brings them together.  1. Explain how you will develop a complex composition. What Photoshop or other techniques will you use?  I will develop a complex composition by bringing together the physical and imaginary world, as stated above. After taking photos, a lot of the work will take place in photoshop. This will include taking my photos and combing them with others to create an imaginary world within the picture that looks real.  2. Explain how you will develop a complex concept, going beyond just a pretty picture.  After looking and researching these artists I have decided to create a series that reflect scenes from Alice in Wonderland. I have chose Alice in Wonderland because the scenes bring together the physical and imaginary world, and has elements that you would never see in the real world. I have also chosen Alice because in the real world society tries to shape you in a certain way, but in Alice in Wonderland she defies society and finds her own way to fit in.  3. Choose at least one principle of design that you will focus on and try to use with this project. Explain what it is and why you're using it.  A principle of design I want to focus on in my photos is unity. I feel like this will be a good principle to focus on because I will be combining pictures that wouldn't fit together in real life. When combining pictures together it will be important to make sure the photos are balanced, harmonious and look like a whole picture instead of many pictures put into one.  4.
