Worcester-texture











I took the background image of the tree and first adjusted it so it fit well without having a bunch of unneeded areas of the original. I then added a layer with a rope. After erasing the entire picture aside from the rope itself I copied and resized it five times in different areas. I then added a layer with a monkey salt shaker. I removed the entire background on that image so just the monkey was left. Following that I copied, resized, moved, fixed the contrast, and rotated it so there were six in total in various positions. I was able to erase parts of the monkey so it would look like they were swinging on ropes or climbing up trees. I then took an image of an apple in a basket and inserted it as a new layer. After that I erased almost all of it aside from the apple itself, from there i resized, moved, and rotated it so it looked like one of the monkeys was eating one, two were climbing to one, plus another few still hanging on the tree. Finally I brightened the background so it looked much brighter and made the monkeys stand out much better.

For the main image I used filling the frame plus leading lines. The texture was best shown in the bark of the tree and the fibers of the ropes, I highlighted both by incorporating the smooth and glossy monkey and apple so it would contrast well and make the bark and ropes look rougher. I used the space well and there was some use of symmetry with the balance of the branches on the tree. If I could change something It would probably be better lighting. I had to adjust the contrast a lot in order for the
