      IRC Nickname: Samurai-JM Group: Emeritus Posts: 3204 Member No.: 117 Joined: January 11, 2008 Total Events Attended: 8    | Had another art project due this week so I decided to do a collage. It was supposed to be focused on Ecology. Turned it in on tuesday and I expect to get a grade back sometime next week! I have the Earth in the center of course, and the 4 corners each represent something. Top Right: The four seasons and the diversity they bring. Bottom Left: The beauty of our world everywhere we look. Top Left: War, and how it destroys the natural world. Bottom Right: Money, and how greed fuels destruction. Full explanation turned in with collage: I decided to do a computer collage based on ecology for our second project. Rather than use magazine clippings to paste together, I took images from the internet and blended them all together in Photoshop. The collage is split into four segments with a picture of the Earth at the very center for the focus of the piece. This is meant to show that all aspects of ecology, both good and bad, are united around the idea of humanity on Earth. Each of the four corners shows a different piece of good or bad parts of the world, including both the beauty of nature, and its destruction. The bottom left and top right corners represent good parts of ecology on Earth. All of the images used in this corner show the natural state of the world, undisturbed by humanity. The top right area shows the four seasons of the year in order, starting from the bottom and going clockwise: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. The bottom left section includes a few of the most beautiful and natural views of the world, all of which can be seen a short walk from many of our own homes. A brilliant sunset, a forest ceiling, and the night sky itself are all natural settings in their purest forms, and should be preserved in this way at all costs. The two corners that remain show the true evils of the world, greed and power, and how they corrupt humanity and decay all they interact with. The top left corner shows warfare, pollution, and destruction of the Earth’s nature and people. The bottom right shows money and humanity’s greed to always want more (thus the heart shaped bill). They are placed between the two natural corners to show how they divide the rest of the world and destroy it, and they are put in areas of greater focus to represent how humanity recognizes these aspects of the world more than its natural beauty. The sad thing is, both of these aspects are man-made, and both are heavily used and sought by humanity, no matter how much they are tearing the world apart. -------------------- -=}¤- Vi Veri Veniversum Vivus Vici -¤{=-  W I N N I N G | ||

That's what a collage usually is...isn't it? At least when I was doing this in high school. --------------------   | ||

And leetsauce they are. Can I ask a simple question? I've been messin around with photoshop a bit since I got it for Christmas, but one thing I want to know is how do you get images to fade into each other like that? Do you like... lower the opacity of an area of the image or something? How do you do that? Or overlay just a section of it or something....? -------------------- | ||
