This assignment was something completely new to me, so I hope you all like how it turned out!
"Flower Child". 9/15/2010, 7:59 pm. Past Lyons Creek Rd., Rexburg, ID. f/22. 1/2 sec. - Nikon D60. Tripod. Color adjustments in RAW.
I did a repeat and fade type on this picture starting with a textbox that covered the entire page, and spilling over the edges slightly. I then added about a line and a half of text, increased the spacing between the lines through the character palette, and copy and pasted the text across the entire page. Next I made a new type layer (ctrl+j), changed the font type and color, widened the text box farther off the page, and moved the text box into the free space between the lines. I then lowered the opacity of both layers and created a mask on both layers so that selected parts of my subject isn't covered with type. I also added an additional couple of layers for the main text, "Flower Child", and made those layers the top-most layers.
"Breezy Face". 9/15/10, 7:56 pm. Past Lyons Creek Rd., Rexburg, ID. f/25. 1/4 sec - Nikon D60. Tripod. No edits.
"Pampas". 9/21/10, 9:23 am. Spori Quad, Rexburg, ID. f/8. 1/320 sec. - Nikon D60. No edits.
I used blending modes to put these two images together, choosing overlay. The top image is at 70% opacity and I did a mask of 100% over her face, and about 50% around her body to let her shine through a bit more.

First of all I love the bright orange rustic wall that is next to her. I think it was so creative to blend the pampas with a portrait, I love how it turned out, the picture is so much more interesting with the texture feel! Nice job!
ReplyDeleteI agree with the above comment..LOVE the bright orange and the contrast that provides. I think the text is a bit hard to read on "flower child." Perhaps a different color or choice of font and font placement would make it a bit easier. Good work though!
