My Idea for this assignment is the myth of the sandman. This myth in-tales a man wearing a gold robe who carries a satchel of sleep sand and sprinkles it onto you, allowing you to sleep, creating the crust in your eyes appearing in the morning. I am planning on interpreting this in the modern day by taking a picture of a closed eye or face and putting a man in the background as if the person was dreaming about the sandman. This will involve pictures of different people and backgrounds along with costumes such as robes. From creating this photo I will learn how to do more realistic re-coloring and adjustments in Photoshop to different pictures. I feel as thought if I succeed in creating this picture the way I have imagined it, it will look very well done and realistic yet dream like and almost foggy. The whole idea of am imaginary or mystical person sprinkling magical sand onto you to help you sleep intrigues me, how can this happen, how does he get into your house, who is this man really.
