Montage Projects

Reflection

For this montage, I utilized various different techniques in order to come up with the final design of this image. I first got the idea to show the power and speed of a sports car and also of a motorcycle. I tried to make the car the center of the picture so that it could be the focus point. Behind the car, I out several pictures together in order to show the speed and amazing power of the car. I used an explosion so that it gave the picture and action sort of feel. Also, I made use of a space shuttle taking off, which was meant to show the power and speed of the car. I also included the sports bike in the back of the car, which was meant to show that it also contains some power and speed. Lastly, I used various pictured of stars behind the layer of the car in order to give it more of a design.
As for the techniques used, I mainly used various types of color adjustments, layer properties, and various types of blurs as well. At first, the color of the car was orange, so I changed the color through the Hue/Saturation adjustments. I also changed the color of the motorcycle from red to green. I wanted to make the rocket ship sort of blend in with the background while still giving the sports car a nice effect. As with the stars, I used different blending options so that they would go well with the background. In all, the aim for this montage was to give the car a feeling of action, while giving it some meaning through different pictures and effects.
