For my final project, I decided to choose an image that was recognizable to people all over the world. I thought that a one hundred foot tall statue of Jesus would do the trick. I chose the image of Christ the Redeemer in the clouds specifically for two reasons. The first reason is because I thought that all of the negative space would provide a good canvas for me to make my changes. I also chose this image because I thought the fact that you can only see the Redeemer above the clouds. I feel the original image looked very heavenly.
The first changes I made using the creative process we studied in class were a way for me to simply experiment with Photoshop and toy around with some ideas I had to change the image. After becoming comfortable with Photoshop my piece really began to take shape. I am very happy with how the lighting came out to look as if it were really in the sky. The moon and the raven were sort of random additions to the piece, but I found them to fit very well.
For my second change, I got inspiration from the moon and the raven. I wanted to compliment them with something on the opposite side of the piece. After adding the earth and the dove, I thought about Kaylee’s comments about how it was unclear what the hands were reaching for. Upon consideration of this comment, I added a larger image of the Redeemer and it just so happened that the hands matched up with the moon and Earth.
I also cleaned the hands up a bit and changed the opacity of a few layers. I found this process to be very thrilling. It was interesting to see what I could come up with regarding creative ideas through this process.
I found this project to be beneficial to my creative abilities and I feel that I have developed a new skill because of it. I feel confident in my creative thoughts and look forward to using the methods of the creative process that we practiced in class.
