MONTAGE --technique
of combining visual elements from
various sources into a single composition,
giving the illusion that
the elements
belonged together originally,
or to allow each element to retain its
separate
identity as a means of adding meaning to the
composition
Technical requirements:
- Your final montage must be at least 11"x 17" (150 dpi).
- You must use Photoshop to composite your montage.
- You are allowed to use both self generate and found materials in your montage, however if you're using found imagery, it must be copyright free.
- Your montage must use combination of at LEAST three of the following Photoshop techniques: Photomerge Tool, Blending Modes (btwn layers), Layer Masking, Blending Tools, Adjustment Layers
- No Photoshop filters are allowed
Panoramic Technique Tips:
- Stay in one spot when photographing (focus on a single viewpoint)
- Take lots of overlapping shots, to help reduce the amount of gaps in the final composite. Images should overlap by approximately 40%.
- Use manual settings on your digital camera when possible (focal length, exposure, white balance, etc)
- Technique in Photoshop used combine several photographs into one continous image
