Image Manipulation: Layer Mask





This example is a layer-masking composite, 
created from 4 individual stock images: 
  • lightbulb; in the verticle position, over white background,
  • water splash; (from a standard full-frame photograph) shot at surface level,
  • goldfish; from a (previously rendered) transparency.
  • spigot, with a water stream

The illusion is created using image manipulation software to demonstrate the seamless merging of separate elements into one.

  To further the illusion, a 'reflection' was generated
 to add greater dimension. 

Images composited:

Execution v. Viewer Perception

Image
Sometimes, a message's execution is missed. Apple recently presented, what I thought was a brilliant ad, Crush!   However, controversy and backlash ensued. Some viewers perceived the message to convey the destruction of the artists' creativity and 'the tools of the trade'. Conversely, I perceived the message to mean that Apple had 'compacted' everything every user might need into the sleekest iPad Pro package yet. Making the iPad Pro an invaluable tool for all creativity. And I don't mean just artistic creativity. ...To Create! Nevertheless, with the controversial perception in mind, I mocked up a print Ad version that attempts to convey a similar message about its versatility and functionality without "destructive" imagery. ...as some have perceived of the Crush! ad.

Vector Graphics and Typography: Logo Design

Image
  This example demonstrates a logo concept.  The ring is representative of the earth (or the whole), with the stylized diamond interweaving through, to get to the point; no matter the direction.   The color choices: Blue represents imagination and inspiration,  Yellow represents originality and creativity, Grey represents the balance; between black and white.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To confirm the form and balance of the logo,  it should maintain its essence without color Software: Gimp
