Final Project - Katherine Poulson

The idea for this project came to me while I was browsing Pinterest. I saw a pin about how to do double exposures. While my first idea was to do a nature theme, and go along the lines of how life is made up of moments, I ultimately decided to do the above picture. Basically what I did, was create a collage of images in photoshop. Each of these images has something to do with me. It's describes a personality trait, a moment of importance, or something I love. This is just a small glimpse into who I am. Then, after creating the collage, I used my camera and a remote shutter release and took the profile image of me. I pulled that into photoshop, removed the background, changed color, tone, contrast, and a tweaked a few other things. Once that was done, I pulled the collage into the same document as the profile, created a layer mask, and using the blend tool in Photoshop, I mixed the top and bottom layer to create the double exposure. Then I pulled the quote in. Found the typography that I liked, and tried to create a thought provoking addition to the image.
