Project 4: Montage

1. Description: This is an inspirational montage using a quote from C.S. Lewis. This design was done by blending five images and typography.
2. Process (Programs, Tools, Skills, Steps taken while designing): I first began by cropping the background image so that it fit 8.5 x 11 in. I then found a few silhouettes that when with the quote and used the Lasso tool and 20% Feather and moved them onto my image. I used a mask on all of those images and used the brush tool with a 40% opacity to blend them into the image. I left some with hard edges because I believed they added to the design. The buildings were blended in more than the others. For the silhouette of the father and son, I used the Overley blend to have it match with the background image. I used Divide for the word Heaven. I used Adobe Photoshop for this design.
3. Message: I wanted to design a spiritual poster that reminds us all that Heaven is our home. I believe C.S Lewis explains this very spiritually.
4. Audience: Those who have a religious background or are interested in spiritual things/ideas.
5. Top Thing Learned: I learned how to blend images, use the Lasso tool, the brush tool, and how to use masks to avoid destroying a photo.
6. Filter / Colorization used and where it was applied:  I added a bit of vibrancy to the background image.
