Juxtapose With Photoshop

Here's a quick, yet interesting design challenge:

Combine two images using Photoshop to create a dynamic visual effect (exciting, calm, etc.)

Use these Photoshop tools:

Rectangular selection tool (marque tool)
Select by color range, or with the magic wand...
Adjustment Layers
Layer Masks
Import  Illustrator files into Photoshop to select..

Use these Design Skills


Visual impact of juxtaposing images- making it exciting, boring or other…

Shape of the image “slices”
Frequency of the slices
Contrast – value and color changes

Use these keyboard shortcuts:

Shift to drag in alignment
option- click and drag to duplicate

Use these "Guiding Questions"...

1. How can I use COLOR and VALUE to create an emotional reaction in my audience?


2. What selection SHAPES will best relate to, or react with the image I chose?


3. How can I have a FOCAL POINT in all this visual craziness?
