PROJECT 

For this project, I started off by picking 3 locations and collecting references. I picked dessert, beach, and mountain. I started sketching as can be seen in the figures below. After doing all of them, I decided to go further with the dessert. 


Fig 1.0 Beach

Fig 1.1 Mountain

Fig 1.2 Dessert
I decided to do 4 different compositions for the dessert and wanted to go further with this idea.

Photobashing

Fig 1.3 Chosen Sketch

Fig 1.3 is the sketch that I have chosen to be photo bashed. Then I realized the original base plates I picked didn't really work out the way I wanted it to and searched for more pictures. I used the pictures for the base image in photo bashing the sketch. I also used stacked coins for the tower that has a city on top of it. Lastly and painted over things to add more effects after I was done editing the values, color correction, etc.

REFLECTION

This project was very interesting to me because I've never done anything like it before. It was all very new to me and I explored and experimented a lot. This project definitely taught me a lot from composition, colors, and values, to the technical execution in photoshop. I struggled in managing my time which caused this submission to be delayed, I had some technical difficulties as well like my drawing tablet being broken.
