A multi-step process is outlined: converting an image to black and white, creating a layer mask, selecting representative imagery for poetic elements, combining images using layers and filters, and adding text. An example finished product is shown.
Dadaists in the 1920s used photomontage techniques to express modern life by cutting and pasting real photographs from media sources. Photomontage utilized actual photographs printed in the press to critique society. Dada laid the foundations for abstract art, sound poetry, performance art, postmodernism, and later political anti-art movements. Key figures like George Grosz and Fernand Lรฉger incorporated mechanical and natural forms in their work.
Photomontage is a composite photograph created by cutting and joining other photographs. It can serve different functions in visual language such as being informative, expressive, aesthetic, or exhortative. This document provides information on the process of photomontage and its uses in visual arts education activities.

Gerunds and infinitives can be used in various ways in English grammar. Gerunds function as nouns and verbs. As nouns, gerunds can be subjects, objects, predicates, and objects of prepositions. As verbs, gerunds can take adverbs, form the passive voice, and take objects or complements. Infinitives are also used after certain verbs to indicate purpose, intention, or regret about past actions. Verbs like remember, forget, try, stop, and regret can take either gerunds or infinitives with subtle differences in meaning.

The poem describes a photograph of the speaker's grandmother holding their hand as a child. In the photo, the grandmother appears tall and upright, but she has since hunched over with age. The poem reflects on the grandmother's impending death, which was foreshadowed by her sharp eyes. Though the grandmother has passed away, her smiling face still seems alive and well in the photograph, preserving the memory of their relationship for the speaker.
The document describes an experimental photography project where the artist created a photomontage by layering several smaller images together. Key techniques used included adding strokes around image edges to make them appear layered, changing hue and saturation for contrast, rotating some images, and taking inspiration from other photomontage artists. While most techniques were successful, the artist notes the images could have been smaller for a more effective collage composition. Overall the work realized the artist's intentions but leaves room for technical skills improvement.
This document summarizes an experimental photography project combining multiple exposure and scanography techniques. The author created images by overlaying previously taken scanography photos with other nature images in Photoshop. For one image, the author overlaid a scanography face with an image of trees and flowers, using dodging tools to highlight certain areas. The author evaluates how well their work achieved the intended ideas and references influences from scanography and double exposure styles individually. The author assesses the technical and aesthetic qualities of the works and discusses ways to potentially improve or further develop the images through additional experiments.
The document summarizes the student's experimental photography project exploring themes of fear and love. It includes annotations and evaluations of 3 experiments.
In the first experiment, the student used a flip tool and created shadows to depict intertwined people and different perceptions of fear. The evaluation notes both strengths like the misty tone, and weaknesses like an annoying pattern.
The second experiment used multiple exposure to layer images at low opacity, creating a "see through" effect. In evaluation, the student notes room for improvement in realizing intentions and developing the work further.
The third and final experiment used a flip tool to create overlapping and blurred images in black and white. In evaluation, the student feels this experiment best realized the
The document summarizes the student's experimental photography project. They used scanography techniques and editing tools like dodge and burn to create images conveying fear. The student is happy with how the images turned out but wants to try new techniques like using objects instead of models or adding movement. They analyzed what elements worked best and discussed ways to improve areas like using more dramatic colors or focusing less on detail. The student felt their work fit the brief of experimental photography and clearly showed the theme of fear.
The document summarizes three experiments in experimental photography conducted by Shania Carter. In the first experiment, Carter used flip tools and opacity levels in photographs of people to create a sense of reflection and movement. Feedback noted room for improvement in realizing intentions. The second experiment used multiple exposures and black and white photographs with layered images to represent fear and love. Feedback again noted room to better realize intentions. The third and final experiment used flip tools and editing techniques like levels and curves to create a powerful black and white image representing same sex love and fear through repetitive faces and movement between images. Carter felt this final image best realized the goals of representing fear through experimental photography.

This document discusses experimental photography techniques using multiple exposures. It includes examples of photos taken of landmarks like Big Ben and Buckingham Palace where multiple images are overlaid to create layered effects. In the photos, the layers become darker and more blurred the more images that are overlapped. Adjusting the camera angle for each shot and using different exposure settings results in interesting color variations between the layers. The document evaluates how well the photos fulfill the goal of being experimental and matching the assigned theme of multiple exposures.
The document discusses the learning and improvements the author experienced from their preliminary magazine project to their final music magazine product. Specifically, the author learned better photography skills like composition and focus; improved organization of models, costumes and photos; developed writing and research skills; and gained expertise using Photoshop for advanced editing techniques to enhance images. The preliminary magazine lacked these skills and research, so the final product was more polished and professional as a result of the learning experience.

Tom Haase reflects on the first week of production for his film project. He created a logo to brand his products and spent time refining it through several iterations. He settled on a simple design that could be applied across different products and backgrounds. For his film cover, he worked on developing a "sewn mouth" effect for the character and added a scar to the eye. He experimented with fonts for the title and taglines. By the end of the week he had made progress on the cover design but still had work to do on integrating the character into the background and refining some design elements.

The document discusses the author's experience using Photoshop for the first time on a preliminary task and a subsequent main task. For the preliminary task, the author found cutting out models looked rough since they were new to Photoshop. On the main task, the author gained more experience using different tools like the clone stamp tool to remove jewelry and edit backgrounds more neatly. The author learned to experiment more and manipulate images rather than just cropping and adjusting brightness/contrast.
This document contains evaluations from a student of various digital graphic design projects they completed. For a cartoon panda image, the student likes how the basic colors and shape clearly identify the animal, and how they defined the eyes. They would add more shading next time. For a realistic wolf image, the student likes the shading and eyes, and would improve the shape and fur details. For a rotoscoped image, the student likes how they created layered eyes and would add more facial definition. They paid close attention to details in another rotoscope and would improve clothing and hair rendering.
The student learned many new skills from their preliminary task to the final production. They improved lighting, costumes, and image manipulation in Photoshop. They also varied shot types, experimented with lighting, and learned to use layers and conventions. Feedback from a focus group helped improve the masthead design. Overall, the final production showed increased quality, professionalism, and a masthead that better appealed to the target audience through lessons learned.
The student has proposed creating a 10-page children's book that adapts the classic story of Little Red Riding Hood. In this version, titled "Little Brown Wolf", the roles of the wolf and Little Red Riding Hood are reversed. The story follows a young Little Brown Wolf making his way to his cousin's cottage, unaware that his cousin has been captured and transformed into a human child by an evil witch hoping to lure the Little Brown Wolf into a trap using his fear of humans. The student has selected JPEG as the export format due to its smaller file size and ability for the user to independently select the file size.

This document provides moodboards and ideas for posters to raise awareness of marine litter. It discusses three potential poster ideas:
1. A collage of trash on a beach with the phrase "The beach is rubbish" to directly blame beachgoers for leaving trash. Images from the "dirty dozen" list would be included.
2. Inspired by mermaid tears campaigns, it could feature a mermaid cartoon surrounded by plastic balls that have been washing up on beaches.
3. General fonts were selected that would work for different text elements in any of the poster ideas. They are simple but professional fonts suited to convey information clearly.
The SAS uses strong branding including a distinctive logo featuring a wave shape to promote awareness of their campaign against sewage pollution. Their branding incorporates both positive imagery like whales and negative imagery like plastic bags posing as sharks to draw attention. They target their messaging toward surfers but also educate children through materials using cartoons and games. The purpose is to both raise awareness and generate support through various mediums like posters, merchandise, and school programs. Facts and dramatic copy are included to legitimize the issues addressed and engage audiences emotionally.

The temple and the sanctuary around were dedicated to Asklepios Zmidrenus. This name has been known since 1875 when an inscription dedicated to him was discovered in Rome. The inscription is dated in 227 AD and was left by soldiers originating from the city of Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv).
4. Evaluate: ideas e.g. analysis, results;
How well do you feel you have realised your ideas and intentions and what results have you got? Ensure
you talk critically (compare, contrast, assess) about your work. You should reference your influences and
assess how your work compares.
This first finished photograph was a practice of the technique I will be using in my final photographs, which
will feature members of my family. My intentions were to create a photomontage of the models face. I was
influenced by David Hockney to do this, as he also created photomerges. Although he created his with actual
photographs, I produced mine using Photoshop. I used less photographs compared to Hockney, this was due to
wanting to practice the style first in an easier way and then build up from this. Looking at this piece of work &
Hockney's work, His work visually looks better and more professional, even though I had access to studio
lighting & Photoshop which should allow me to produce higher quality images. I will look into this in future
photographs.
Qualities:
Consider the aesthetic qualities of your work. How does it look? What do you like about it? What are the
strongest and weakest elements from an aesthetic point of view?
Aesthetically, my photomerge looks very jumbled up and quite messy. This was my first major attempt at one.
As you can see from the photographs, some of the lines are very rough, which is something I will remember
not to do in the future. The sizing of each different photograph fits well together, so this part of this
photograph is strong. Another weak point aesthetically is that the photographs have different hues to them,
which I will talk about in the next paragraph. Because the photographs are different colours, they do not work
well together in a photomontage. I will keep this in mind when producing my next photomontages.
Consider the technical qualities of your work? How well done is it? What elements are strongest and
which could need further work and development? Be sure to use technical terms in your work such as
exposure, shutter speed, aperture and talk specifically about any post-production techniques you have
used.
The technical quality of this photomerge is not very high. For example, I used the eraser tool to remove
different parts of the image, which didn't work very well as it shows very rough lines. In future work I will use
the clone stamp tool to do this as I believe it will give a more professional look, therefore increasing the
quality of my work. Like mentioned in the above paragraph, the colours have different hues to them. This due
to the fact that the exposure, shutter speed, aperture was constantly changing. This is something I will have
to think about when I am taking the photographs of my family.
4
5. How could you improve your work? Could you develop your work further with additional work? What
would you try to achieve with this? Could you undertake further experiments? If so, what would they be?
I can improve my work by spending more time on it, which would then increase the quality of the work
overall. Spending more time on parts like the lines featured in the image, these would look less rough if I
worked on them for a longer period of time. The next photomontage I create will feature a full body
photograph of the model, so I will take on board the things mentioned on the slide above and things
mentioned in this paragraph. With the next photomontage of her portrait, I am going to try and colour match
and correct what went wrong with the aperture, shutter speed & exposure. I will do this by using tools like the
contrast & brightness bar. All of this will again be done on Photoshop. An experiment I will do in future work is
compare if the eraser or the clone stamp tool works better.
When talking about your work, consider formal elements such as lines, shapes and patterns as well as the
colour and contrast and also tone of your image. Think about the composition of your work and where
this could be developed.
The human face has countless different shapes & lines within it. I believe this is one of the reasons why the
portraits are a very interesting type of photography. The photomontage of just one persons face really shows
this & contrasts between just a single portrait. I will be developing on from this when I take the portraits of
my family because the photomontages will feature more than one person within them. Like mentioned on the
previous slide, the colours in the image need to be worked on, but something I find interesting colour wise to
do with the human face is that the colours are automatically classed as being natural colours because the
colours are naturally there. Even with make up, it is meant to accentuate the colours & lines featured already
in the face. In future photomontages you will be able to notice the similarities and differences in peoples
faces. I believe that this will be made even more interesting as they will feature photographs from the same
family.
Finally you should consider if the images you have produced fulfill the brief you were set. Do they match
the theme? Are they experimental? Explain your answers using specific examples.
As stated earlier, this piece of work was a practice for what I will be doing in future photographs with
members of my family. I do believe this is experimental. The photographs are experimental due to the fact I
am experimenting with my chosen theme. Although this does not ft in with the theme of family, it is working
towards this goal.

8. Evaluate: ideas e.g. analysis, results;
How well do you feel you have realised your ideas and intentions and what results have you got? Ensure
you talk critically (compare, contrast, assess) about your work. You should reference your influences and
assess how your work compares.
My intentions with this photograph were to create a full body photomontage of my model, as a practice of the
techniques I will be using in my family portraits. like mentioned on the other slide, I was inspired by David
Hockney's photomontages, but with a modern twist as I am using Photoshop whereas he would have to take
many photos and line them up manually. I used the same tool as before (eraser tool) because I wanted to
experiment with this tool in a full body photograph. I believe it worked slightly better than what it did with
the face. Compared to the close up portrait photographs, the colours in these photographs are much more
similar. I believe makes the lines less obvious to see, which makes them easier to work with overall. I will
again keep this in mind when taking the photographs of my family.
Qualities:
Consider the aesthetic qualities of your work. How does it look? What do you like about it? What are the
strongest and weakest elements from an aesthetic point of view?
Aesthetically, my work looks like three different photographs of my model merged together. With this
photomerge, I like the very distinct way that you can tell that they are separate photographs. I also believe
the colours look better & work better together compared to the portrait photomerge I did on the slide above.
Again though, I do not like the rough edges of the photographs as it is easy to see and lowers the overall
aesthetic quality of the work. I will test out the clone stamp tool when producing my next full body
photomontage.
Consider the technical qualities of your work? How well done is it? What elements are strongest and
which could need further work and development? Be sure to use technical terms in your work such as
exposure, shutter speed, aperture and talk specifically about any post-production techniques you have
used.
Like mentioned above & on the previous slide, the photographs are again rough around the edges which is
something I do not want to appear in the photographs to come. The edges are rough because I used the eraser
tool, when I should of been using the clone stamp tool. I will use that tool in the future. I believe, compared
to my first photomerge, all the photographs have the same colours, brightness & contrast to them. This is
down to the fact that the exposure, shutter speed & aperture were all at very similar numbers when I took the
photographs. This is something I will keep in mind when taking my other photographs.

9. How could you improve your work? Could you develop your work further with additional work? What
would you try to achieve with this? Could you undertake further experiments? If so, what would they be?
I could improve my work by spending more time on it overall. I feel like if I had spent more time on it I could
improve the quality significantly. One specific thing I would like to work on is the background of the image. I
believe if I removed the white ground of each image apart from one (so there would be a definitive
background) the look of the photomontage would look significantly better because you could not be able to
make a complete distinction between them. Other improvements I would change technically and ascetically on
the previous slide, which features points like testing out the clone stamp tool & making the edges smoother.
These images are the experimental images before I use the photographs of my family, so I am technically
experimenting what tools work best.
When talking about your work, consider formal elements such as lines, shapes and patterns as well as the
colour and contrast and also tone of your image. Think about the composition of your work and where this
could be developed.
The lines in this piece of work are rough. I do not want this to feature in future pieces of my work. The human
body has countless different shapes which I believe is a unique aspect of shooting with a model & also the fact
I am bringing the different shapes the human body can make into one photomontage is interesting to look at.
Unlike in my first photomontage, you can see the full body of the model now & this shows even more different
lines and shapes than just the human face. This adds to the countless different photomontages I could create
which is very interesting to me & I would like to look into this further in my family photographs.
Finally you should consider if the images you have produced fulfill the brief you were set. Do they match
the theme? Are they experimental? Explain your answers using specific examples.
With this image I set out to experiment how I can produce my final images using my family portraits, so I
believe this work is experimental. For example, although I have seen photomontage work before, I have not
seen something quite like this whilst researching photomontage. I would also like to mention that I am
experimenting with skills and practicing my skills so I will know what I am doing when I actually produce the
photographs with my family photographs. My theme is family so this is leading up to working with the
photographs within that theme.

12. Evaluate: ideas e.g. analysis, results;
How well do you feel you have realised your ideas and intentions and what results have you got? Ensure
you talk critically (compare, contrast, assess) about your work. You should reference your influences and
assess how your work compares.
This is the second practice photomerge I used did with the models face. This time I wanted try and join on the
lines smoother. I believe, compared to the first photomerge, this looks a higher quality for reasons I will
mention in the two below paragraphs. What I wanted to do with this photomerge is to strengthen my skills
with the experiment overall & I believe I have accomplished this. Inspired by David Hockney's photomerges, I
believe I have created work that has taken advantage of the modern way he could produce photomerges now
e.g. via Photoshop. I believe you can tell I spent more time on this photomontage than the first one I
produced.
Qualities:
Consider the aesthetic qualities of your work. How does it look? What do you like about it? What are the
strongest and weakest elements from an aesthetic point of view?
Four different photographs merged together, that look similar but are different enough to make the
photomerge look interesting. The slight differences between each photograph catches the viewers eye. I like
the fact the lines look a lot smoother in the photomerge compared to the first portrait photomerge I made,
which I believe makes this one more aesthetically pleasing. One of the weaknesses in this photograph is the
fact that two of the photographs have some minor shake to them if you look closely at them (more on this in
the below slide).
Consider the technical qualities of your work? How well done is it? What elements are strongest and
which could need further work and development? Be sure to use technical terms in your work such as
exposure, shutter speed, aperture and talk specifically about any post-production techniques you have
used.
As stated above, two of the photographs I used for this photographs I used for this photomerge are blurry. I
should of used either I tripod or faster shutter speed. I used the eraser tool to remove some parts of this
image. Although I believe I used the eraser tool better than I did on the other two photomerges, I believe I
should use the clone stamp tool in future photomerges for a higher quality photomerge. I changed the contrast
& brightness of some of the photographs so they would look better together, I believe this worked to a certain
extent.

13. How could you improve your work? Could you develop your work further with additional work? What
would you try to achieve with this? Could you undertake further experiments? If so, what would they be?
I will improve my work in the future by doing the things I mentioned on the slide above. This is my
development work so I am learning about what works and what does not work e.g. the eraser tool does not
give me the effect I would like my work to have. In my next photomerge I am going to use the clone stamp
tool which I believe will work better than the eraser tool. I am also going to be experimenting with the
photographs I have taken of my family which will be interesting to see the outcome of. I will also experiment
within my family photomontages by using a mix of eraser and clone stamp.
When talking about your work, consider formal elements such as lines, shapes and patterns as well as the
colour and contrast and also tone of your image. Think about the composition of your work and where
this could be developed.
The lines in my work are meant to be ever so slightly off so you can notice the minor differences within the
photomerge, this adds to the overall composition in my work. The shapes in the human face are quite
interesting & are highlighted within this portrait photomerge. You notice how the face can change shape ever
so slightly to create a totally different mood, which is a very interesting feature you don't find with anything
else. Like mentioned in the previous paragraph with the same title, it will be interesting to see how the lines
of my families faces will work together & what differences/similarities there will be.
Finally you should consider if the images you have produced fulfill the brief you were set. Do they match
the theme? Are they experimental? Explain your answers using specific examples.
This is my experimental work and I believe it has allowed me to figure out exactly how I am going to work on
the photographs of my family, therefore this work has been experimental. This work allows me to work within
my theme of family. Iโve experimented with brightness, contrast, eraser tool, clone stamp tool & the
composition of photographs overall.
