Project: Surreal Image

Completion Date: 2011

Description

To begin my surreal image, I found some pictures online that I wanted to layer together. I found an image of an beautiful abandoned house on a perfect lawn to start with. Then I found an image of a dilapidated shack and took the roof from that to replace the roof on my abandoned house. The roof of the shack was caving in, so after placing pieces together on the abandoned house, I made it look as though there is a tree coming from inside. After this, I looked for images of explosion clouds. I found three that I liked and I played around with the order of the layers and the blending modes until I was pleased with the aesthetics. I then looked for images of debris and rubble. I have taken various parts of different images and placed them in the front yard of the abandoned house.
