Word Play Project

For this project my searching word was Victory. My  synonym was triumph and my antonym was defeat.

For the Triumph project i used the picture of the boxing refferee raising the winner's hand. I filtered the background in order to gain the positive atmosphere in the picture.  In the left corner of the picture i cut out coach who is pointing at the winner of the match. The coach was cut out of another picture and that layer was masked and refined. That layer was also filtered with artistic cutout. . The opacity of that layer was 95.  The picture of a winner holding the Serbian flag and the belt around his waist was also cut from another picture. This layer was also masked and refined. Afterwhich the layer was filtered with artistic cutout.  That layer was alos transformed and scaled in order to make it bigger than other two characters at the bottom of the picture. Behind this character I placed 10 layers of stars which are supposed to halp him be the focus of the picture.  Every star layer is set to different opacity. The opacity of stars varies from 25-33.  I used the picture of the Blaze boxing sign and tried to make it look like it belonged on the wall of the  background picture. That layer was also filtered, and refined. The text was Placed accross the picture  and it was arched with wrap text. Drop shadow, inner shadow, outer glow, inner glow were also added to the text.

For the Defeat project I used the same background picture as i did in the Triumph project. This time I focused the defeated boxer as the attention of the picture. The oicture of another boxer was cropped out, masked and refined, filtered and placed with the opacity of 25 . Another picture of the defeated fighter taking a pinch in the face was placed in the lower right corner of the picture. This picture was cropped , filtered, refined and masked. Another layer was added of the picture of a knocked out boxer laying on the floor. The pencil filter was used on this layer in order to make it look like it was drawn with the pencil. This immage was flattened and curved in order to get the black and white color which is supposed to represent the defeat and the saddness which the defeated one is experiencing . I hope you enjoy the artwork.
