Project one is done. I stuck with the dead/ alive theme. Overall, I am happy with my project. The second project is the impossible image. I was def. overwhelmed with the possibilities of this assignment. It's unlimited. And I wanted to challenge myself. What I have right now is 2 images of levitation. One is a boat floating above the water, the other is a car floating above the street. I duplicated the shape of the subject and filled it with black and transformed it into the shape of an appropriate shadow. I used a gaussian blur and lowered the opacity slightly.  I used the blur tool to add extra blurred edges. For the boat over the water, I used the liquify tool to just mess up the edges of the shadow a little so it looks like it belongs on top of the water. 

My next image is a man and dog silloette out; they are walking into the sunset on top of a lake. They also have a shadow, and I used the same techniques for this one. My last image I just completed is 2 sting rays who are flying in the air and a couple birds who are swimming underwater. The sting rays also have shadows. I really like making fake shadows. I think these image are pretty strong; not great, but realistic for an impossible image. I am going to keep exploring my skills in this subject. For example, I made Tiger Woods have a furry tiger face. haha. I would like to do more than 4 images, but I would rather have 4 solid pieces than more mediocre images. As for assignment 3/4... I don't know what I am doing yet. Be back soon, because I am really behind on these blogs. No worries yet though.
