Surreal Landscape

For this project I have created two different immages using Photos of different landscapes and photos of different buildings. Some of the buildings I taken picture are in Louisville Kentucky and some of the pictures were taken Last summer when I visited Serbia.

For the first image I took a picture of a rock which is located next to my house. I cropped the background of this picture and just left the gras and the rock. Instead of the original background. I used the picture of an old fence and the photo of the carpet in the classroom. I changed the colors in order to make it look like the sky.For this image i decited to use the photos of buildings and place them on the rock. Every building had to be resized in order to fit on the rock. I blended the layers of the buildings in order to make it look like they naturally belong on the rock. Since background looked littlebit cartoonish i decited to filter the buildings but i stil wanted them to have that real look to them. I drew the tribal looking sun and a cloud.the sun and the cloud were blended with the texturized bacground of the baby blue sky. The cloud layer was duplizated in order to get three more layers. I transformed each cloud layer in order to make it look different form the other. I set the opacity of the clouds to be from 63-73 with each cloud layer having different opacity. Since I drew sun with the pencil I changed the color to orange.Opacity of the sun layer was set to 91. Each cloud layer was filtered in order to get another cartoonish color which is supposed to make the background more acceptable. Each cloud was transformed and resized.

For the second image I used the photos of Sant Muchael Orthodox Church and I used the photo of building next to Spalding University on 4th Street. The buildings were cropped. The layers of the buildings were also filtered.I wanted to make this immage look like it was on another planet therefore I wanted to make the buildings look alien using colors which are not typically used. For the background I used the photo of blanket which made it took like a sky and I used Hue/Saturation in order to get a color which I pictured this planets sky to have. I used another texture photo in this image in order to make it look like this planed is getting some sort of light waives from something which is not pictured in the image.This texture background opacity was set to 14. Insted of the sun I used the photo of my soccer ball and edited it to make it look like the satelite which is followig this planet. Soccer layer ball was filtered and resized in order to make the size right for this image. Opacity of the soccer ball layer was set to 64. I also selected the outer glow for the soccer ball image.
