After learning all about Photoshop, it really helped me to make my collage. I never really knew how to use Photoshop before I took this class. Photoshop can do a lot more than what I thought about transforming or editing a picture. Since I have learned about these techniques, I can make my photo look very professional and skilled. The elements I used are Angle and Framing. The picture of my two friends (girl and guy) is an example of angle and the middle picture is an example of framing due to the mirrors sides. In my collage I used cropping, drop and inner shadowing, photo merge, whiten teeth, and scale/rotate.
I used the tool cropping for most of my pictures. It eliminates a lot of negative space but not to much. Using drop and inner shadows on your photo, either pops your photo out or sinks your photo inward. I used the drop shadow on the picture of me to emphasize that the photo is sitting on top of all the others. Two other pictures have inner shadows to show they are behind all the others. I photo merged three pictures of the sky for the top background of the canvas. I also used teeth whitening for a couple of the pictures, I used the lasso tool and changed the saturation colors. I scaled/rotated the photos to make them look like they over lap and give that collage look.
