Course/Instructor:
Comm 130 Section 06, Ben Pingel

Photo moNtage
Description:

A blend of six different images overlapped on top of one another. A quote

was incorporated to draw out the symbolism of the image.

Date:
October 24, 2015

Programs Used:
Adobe Photoshop

Course/Instructor:
Comm 130 Section 06, Ben Pingel

Objective:
Blend a few different images into one to convey a certain meaning found in
a quote added to the Montage.

Process/Tools:
Two different pictures, one of a woman dressed as royalty and another
of a little girl praying, were blended together well enough that they seem
to melt into each other, but their different features and dress can be
differentiated. The idea was implied that the little girl would be turning into
the woman due to her actions. A more royal looking image of a temple was
placed in the background with multiple overlays to add a rustic, medieval
feel to the image. All images were masked together in Photoshop.
