Week 2: Photoshop Assignment – Samanta Shi

Final image:Female Superheroes in Brooklyn

Original images:

Black Widow, Marvel

Supergirl

Wonder Woman

Captain Marvel

Brooklyn

I decided to have a little fun with a few of my favorite things: superheroes and Brooklyn!  I wanted to focus on female superheroes only because there aren’t as many well known female ones as male ones.

Process:

  1. Use Dumbo as a background
  2. Remove the original backgrounds from the superheroes
  3. Find a place for each one in Dumbo
  4. Create additional layers of Dumbo to make the superheroes feel more embedded
  5. Adjust the contrast/brightness/hue of the images to match
  6. Make it a bit moody –> & white

Here is an example of how I used multiple layers of the Dumbo image, notice how supergirl is behind the bridge.
