Warping My Reality


Reflection:
1.  The concept behind my image is my reality being warped into something supernatural.  The image inside my T.V was the view from outside my window.  I decided to do that because I wanted to make it seem like my reality was being sucked into my T.V and all the supernatural stuff is coming out of it.  That is also why I warped the edges of the T.V and I put my dog jumping into it.

2.  I am actually very impressed with my results because this was my first time using photoshop and thought I wouldn't have been able to represent my ideas the way I hoped to.  I feel that I made it pretty clear that my dog was going into the T.V. and it was some kind of supernatural world that was coming out of it.  I feel that my craftsmanship when it came to putting the picture of outside my window in my T.V. and adding the picture of space in the background of that.  Over all it does represent what I wanted it to and im happy with the results.

4.  One of the tools I used was layer masks.  I used layer masks inside of my T.V. to make it so that the buildings in the picture of the view outside my window would look like it is inside my T.V.  To do that, the first thing I did was make sure I selected the picture of the buildings and I copied it.  I pasted the picture into the one with my T.V., and in doing that it created a new layer.  I moved that new layer under the layer that had my T.V. in it so that it was hidden under the T.V.  On the layer which had the T.V., I went to add a layer mask and I clicked it.  It created a new mask onto the picture with the T.V and it was white.  I made sure that the layer mask was selected and I choose a paint brush and started to paint within the T.V. screen.  As I painted, it revealed the layer underneath the T.V. which was the buildings.  After completing that, the buildings looked like they where in the T.V.
