For this project we had to make a fantasy landscape. By doing this i took landscapes and i added images into the landscape. I added a landscape on top of a landscape to make it look like a bridge is in the landscape. I added my grandad and his dog, a boat, some birds sitting on the bridge, and the bridge and water. To start with i just thought ild add the bridge but as i got going, i thought to add different things to make it look better. I added things, then deleted them and added different things because i didnt like them.
By making my image, i have used photoshop and i have used Vignetting - you have to add a new layer, draw a border around it by using the brush tool, then go around the image and hold down the shift key as you drag across. Then filter, blur, gaussian blur, we also used 'adding colour' you have to add a new layer, pick colour, then 'image- mode- rgb. Then zoom in and when coloured in go to the layers box and change it to overlay. 'Cloning' is another thing we used this is the clone stamp tool select the alt key, select the area you are copying from, select where you go from, let go and then paste it on. Then 'Transforming' Double click on the background layer and press ok - edit - transform - warp. This tidys up the image.
The problems i came across was that the image didnt look to real, by fixing this i added a shadow, or i blured the image a little bit.
i have researched two artists which were 'John Gotto' and 'Jeff Wall' these artists relate to my work as they also do fantsasy images, and add things into there image to make it look realistic or non realistic.
i am pretty pleased with my final image as i like the things i have placed in it. i like how it doesnt look too non realistic and i really like how the bridge and water fits in well with the image, it almost looks like it was already there. if i was to do this again, i would pick a new lanscape and actually takethe images of objects i knew i was gonna placeinto it to make it look better, because on this one i just placed random images i had already taken for a different project and put them into it. but overall i am pleased with my image.

layering

 to layering up images, you have to add a new background into the background there is. First you have to erase the bacground on your original image. then I added a new sky to my portrait, and i dragged a background image onto it, then i pressed overlay so it goes into the background.

 i used the magic tool to get rid of the background to add another one onto it. 

 

 this is what its like without a background image.

 then this is what it looked like when i added a background.
