Project 4 Montage

KendallBarrett-P4Montage

  • Description: Photo montage using layer masking techniques to portray a spiritual theme.
  • Process (Programs, Tools, Skills, Steps taken while designing): I used Photoshop to create the different layering effect. Masking, quick selection, sharpening, level and vibrance change, color altering, filters, outside font downloaded from dafont.com, combination of four different pictures to create one image.
  • Message: Although life can be stormy and rocky at some points, Our Heavenly Father is always there to shine through the darkness. If we know that God is our Heavenly Father, we will avoid a lot of sadness in our lives and will like a calm and happy life.
  • Audience: Christian Faith, Youth, Adults
  • Top Thing Learned: I learned how to mask images. My first draft had some hard edges but I was able to soften them all to make it look more like a montage. I brought out a little of the original image into every aspect of the whole picture. I learned how to move specific objects with their rasterization. I also learned how a simple image can bring the spirit so strongly with it’s Typography. It really portrays the message well when effective Typography is used.
  • Filter / Colorization used and where it was applied: Ripple filter was added to the sunset.
  • Color scheme and color names: The Color Scheme is complimentary. There is a Teal ocean with it’s contrasting brick and orange lettering with an orange sunset as well as orange on the sail boat.

  • Copy Font Name & Category: Miriad Pro Regular- Sans Sarif

    This is so awesome, Kendall! It blew my mind when I scrolled down and saw that you used four different pictures for this design. I never would have known! I love the bright colors you used – they fit super well together. I also love the fact that you pulled colors from your picture to use for your text. That really pulled the design together! Lastly, I thought you did a great job at blending your pictures together. If I looked at this design without knowing the project guidelines, I would have thought it was all one photo. Awesome job!!
