Photoshop Montage

We are in a duo making a photo montage using four images we take off us and then we will blend them together and remove the backgrounds and add other stuff in to make a cool collage off images. Here are some images edited by artists Erik Johansson and Scott Mutter who edit images as their job, they combined two images to make it look like its one, such as the one off a man dragging a road as If it was made off a material. We were told to look at these images to get inspiration for our own images but I already had my idea.

My research started with me thinking off doing something that looked like I was cloning myself but that seemed like it would be too confusing to people, I then thought off making myself look like I was running like The Flash but I am not that good so I ended up deciding to make it look like I was in some player select squares instead, using google images to find an image of a Super Smash Bros character select screen page to take inspiration from.

We will use Photoshop to edit the images into the same picture and add colours and stuff. I will use my four images and make them all different colours (Red, Blue, Yellow and Green) and put them in squares so it looks like a video game that is in a four-player game, with the P1-P4 also being on the screen, the design will be mostly based on the player selection squares from the Super Smash Bros series.

After we took my pictures I realised that my previous idea wouldn’t work so I changed my idea to be four off me being in different poses and places.

Here is my image while its being edited and a finished picture just after being edited. I am in four different poses, one is me standing with my hands on my hips, one is sitting down, one is standing at the side near a hedge and the other is standing with his back to the camera.

I am not very good with editing but luckily I had a friend helping me by reminding me how to do things that I forgot how to do. My friend also helped me try making the player character image and we started it by adding one off me to the character squares.
