Thompson+D+Texture



For the texture combine 3 assignment, I combined 3 pictures and edited them together to look as one. The first thing I did was crop out the brick wall from one of my pictures and added it into the original photo of the base of the water tower. Next I changed the hue of the brick wall and the opacity. Then I cropped out the bottom half of the brick wall so it was only on the water tower. After that I just blurred all of the edges together so it looked better and not as sleepy. The 5th thing I did was crop the flower into the picture and made it lighter. Then I centered the flower onto the drainage hole on the water tower. I thought the picture looked sort of bland so I changed the overall color of the whole picture with the gradient tool to make it seem more colorful and alive. Next I lightly spraypainted a sea greenish color on the right side of the picture and then changed the fill and opacity of the flower. Lastly, I just finished it off with blurring the rest of the edges together. I tried to emphasize the smooth texture of the flower so the picture seemed nice and so rough. Some compositional techniques I used were lines, shapes, and simplicity. I wanted the color to be colorful but not overwhelming so I tried to keep it simple and with the lines I used the gradient effect to my advantage and the brick wall. Shapes were used trying to replace the circular drainage hole with the circular shape of the flower. Overall I think I did pretty well on this assignment for this being the first time I have done this.
