Culture Clash

Purpose:

• To create a Clash of Cultures by creating your own Photo montage, combining images from Beijing, China and Yarmouth, Maine, USA;

• To further develop your Photoshop knowledge and skills;
• To create a “surreal” landscape by montaging a variety of photographs;

• To know, use, and understand the Four Collage Techniques to in your Photo Montage: Juxtaposition/fragmentation, Point of View, Scale Change, Overlapping

The successes of this project were the sizes of each picture. It was very difficult to get the size of each picture exactly how I wanted them to be though. Another challenge that I had was placing the images in good spots. Sometimes I had to change where I was putting images because I didn’t like the way it looked. I learned how to incorporate images with others and make them look good together.

When I created this image I heard the dripping of the rain gently falling from the roof. I smelled freshly mown grass from across the street. I saw the sun coming out for a minute which made things perfect, and beautifully colored flowers that were blooming. I felt the cold wind rushing past me when I bent over to take the picture.

Hobbies, Jillian

When I created this image I heard the waves crashing on the rocks down at the beach. I smelled the bakery that was around the corner. I saw brightly colored houses everywhere. I felt the warm sun on my face and the wind gusting by.
