I apologize again for the lack in posts. I've been busy trying to catch up with school projects since I had taken some time off for my recent honeymoon to Japan. I thought I'd share my most recent Digital Arts project with you. This project was to work with Adobe Photoshop... we had to create a movie poster using PhotoShop exclusively. I decided to base my project on Tokyo Bikes. While I was in Tokyo, for some reason, I was obsessed with all the street bikes and bikers (you may have noticed this obsession with the countless amount of bike photos in my day by day Tokyo blog posts). It made me want to hop on a bike despite the fact that I haven't been on one in over 10 years... no joke! The two main images that make up my movie poster consist of two separate street photos I took in Japan. One was of a random biker on the street waiting for the red light to turn green... (check him out by clicking here!) The second main image I used was a long shutter photo I took of cars passing by on the streets of Shinjuku... (click here to see it). Once I extracted the biker, I was able to work him into the other image as the background, and after experimenting with some adjustment layers, blending modes and color corrections, everything started to come together. Overall, it was a very fun project to work on! Hope I get a good grade... and a new bike for Christmas... hahaha.. I kid, I kid!
