Description:
To further explore the idea of manipulated images I used photos from the internet and used photoshop to place an object onto another picture. This is a form of image manipulation. I did this by first choosing an object, then in photoshop I used the quick selection tool to highlight the object to separate it from the background, then delete everything that's not selected (the background). Then I opened the background in a separate photoshop file and copied the original picture onto the new picture and edit it in terms of size and position to place it where I wanted it on the picture.
Example one:
When being introduced to this technique, I wanted to create a picture that all made sense and linked together or looked right, rather than just a random object. In this example I have placed a 'stop and think' sign onto a picture of silhouette seemingly attacking an adolescent. I did this to create the idea that people don't often think about the consequences and impact that their words can have on another being. I wanted this to have quite a serious and meaningful connotation to it.
Example one:
With this example, I placed a small picture of earth onto a picture of a girl looking to the side. I placed the earth in that certain place to make it look like the girl is looking at it. I quite like how the earth is on a canvas of just back negative space, I think this makes it look like it belongs as that is how we know earth to look from space. This makes quite an abstract picture as it making the whole world seem smaller than a person. I also like how the picture is in black and white but the picture of earth is in colour. I think this makes the world stand out.
some very good work here, well done, Ilike the use of text and images this reminds me of the work of Barbara Kruger
