pictures for collage

here are some of the pictures i'm using for my 9/11 collage

collage project idea

my collage project is a homage to 9/11 and more specifically how it affected the nation.

i plan on having a skyline of nyc with the twin towers. i'm going to blend fire into the background. i'll also put some lit candles in there since lighting candles is sort of a tribute to pay our respects to those who were lost. i hope to include some pictures of people praying and people joining hands to symbolize what many americans did after the event. i'll probably play around a lot with opacity, color filters, and other things to add more depth and texture to my piece.

digital imagery week one

for this i just did a color filter to give it a dark blue tint. i then went through and used one of the brush options to put the purple stuff behind it. it was pretty basic, but i liked the overall look in the end.







this was one of my favorites. i just used the marquee tool to select a small square. next i chose a color and made the opacity somewhere between 20-35% then filled in the box. i did this until i had covered the entire picture. it was a pretty tedious process, but i really like how it turned out.









for this one i just did a photo filter of a light orange color. then i went through and used the faded brush tool, made the opacity around 30% and did the yellow and orange. then i used the brush to make the little fuzzball thing in the corner in red. it gave it a much different look.








for my last one wanted to experiment a little more. i made it a sepia tone sort of, then added the blue in the corner, much the same way i added the red and yellow in the other one. then i made the white lines on the corners just because.
