As my friend Ginger once wrote, “I have really let my blog go!” I guess it just hasn’t been at the top of my priority list lately, and I apologize profusely to the two of you.
Anyway, I have been taking a design class that includes some basic Photoshop skills as part of it, and I thought my final project was fun enough to share. In a nutshell, the assignment was to use the skills we had learned to create an homage to an artist. There were some detailed requirements relating to number of images used, different techniques we were required to employ in some fashion or another, and so forth, but that’s all quite boring, so here is the final product.
The subject of the first montage I did was impressionist Edgar Degas.
The second montage was a tribute to Sergio Leone, which I mostly chose because I thought Steve would enjoy it. Turns out I thought it was pretty fun as well.
And now, a quick word on copyright: Obviously, any copyright on any of the images I used in the Degas montage has expired. There may, however, be copyrighted material in the Leone piece because those movies are newer. I do not intend to infringe on anyone’s copyright; I made this for educational purposes (i.e. learning Photoshop) and I think it’s Fair Use. If you are the copyright holder of any of the images I used and you disagree, please let me know.
