i took a picture of an item i liked and a picture of a background i liked and uploaded them to photoshop.
I clicked the 'quick selection' tool and carefully went round my chosen image.i then clicked the 'edit in quick mask mode' tool and went round all the places i missed to get rid of the background, i also then added the color back in to the places i hadn't meant to cut off. i did this by pressing the small arrow above the 'edit in quick mask mode' tool. i then selected my image and copied and pasted it onto my chosen background. i held shift to change the size of the image. i did the same to my second image.
in the end i created this image ^^^^^
i used the 'history' tool to get rid of the bit of images i didnt want, this made the image look as though things were behind certain objects.
seung woo backs images are all based in the city as mine was in the fields. he uses buildings and famous landmarks where as i used a kids ride and a small rock jar. his images look real where as mine doesnt look as real as i could.
john gotos images are more like mine as his images look fake and you can clearly see that the images within the picture dont belong.
i was pleased with my image for saying how much time i had to produce it but if i could do it again in go in a different path a create something more believable. id also look for a better background maybe something more busier like in the town or a road. id also try and use more images inside my image to creat a more out there image.
