More from ~DawnPaladin

CreativityAndrew phased into his personal refuge with a sigh.  Celestial politics had worn him down more than usual, and right now he just wanted to create.

On impulse, he grabbed a brush and began to paint.  He began to warm up with simple techniques--simple lines and elegant strokes of color, streaking and then vanishing in the air.  Grooves, patterns, and symbols wove themselves through the air around him as he stretched out to the Maker's creative power, and then he switched his brush to wide-beam and ripped a wide slash with a face on it.  He didn't know the face, but it seemed beautiful and calm, so he slashed a flattened Z with three more faces

Final project for Raster Image Processing: a photomontage!

Human trafficking is an issue I feel strongly about. It's one of the reasons I want to become a graphic designer: I hope that I can fight this issue effectively through mass communications. If I can save even one person from a life of horror and slavery, that's very much worth doing.

The girls on display are Helen and Marcia from my Drawing I class, and the shopper sits next to me in Photoshop class. Manipulating photos and making them blend naturally is significantly more challenging than drawing stuff; if anyone can see something I did wrong and would care to link a tutorial on how to fix it, that'd be great!

(Thanks to :iconwerdna250: and :iconchickenchasser: for their helpful feedback!)

I love that you fired at point-blank range with the message here. Sometimes, PSA-style advertising is so busy being genuinely earnest, it becomes diffuse.

You used shock-value with precision to force attention. Kudos!

i'd be careful with the typography. the words underneath "human trafficking is real" looks really tiny (but it could be the screen i'm looking at though)

hay, for a Dada photomontage it looks spot on :sing:

Unfortunately there's not much I can do for the typography without disrupting the layout of the image. I guess it's not going to work at every screen size. Thanks for the feedback, though. :ahoy:

if you printed it out and it was legible then that works :woohoo:

Not sure why, but Helen seems to stand out just a bit oddly in this picture...
Also - I don't think the text (also on Helen's side) is following the same perspective line as the bottom of the glass.

I like the idea though! Very rough, powerful word choice.

Yeah, the brightness on my home computer is much different from the Macs at RMCAD. I've adjusted Helen's levels a bit and added more perspective to the text on the glass. What do you think?
