Flat-Pack Toy - Found Photo Environments

Using Photoshop you will create 2 found photo collage environments for your flat-pack toy.

Each of your environments should be 8.5 x 11 oriented vertically or horizontally.
You should start a new document in Photoshop and set your resolution to 150.
You can then open the photo of your flat-pack toy and place that in your new document and begin to remove the background.

I have quickly photographed your flat-pack toys and provided access to them.  If you open a new finder window and then open MAC HD and then the folder called "Public Share" and then the folder called "readymech" you will find some images of your flat-pack toys.

For the next step in the project we will be creating environments for the ready mech

You will create 2 collage environments from found images:
1 environment will be the creature's/character's habitat
1 environment will be an environment in which the character feels out of place

These are collage environments and should be made out of a minimum of ten images, for example:
An exterior landscape would use a sky from one image and land from another, with a plant from another, and a tree from another.
An interior landscape would use a ceiling from one image and a floor from another, as well as furnishings from different images.





Your environments can be surreal in nature and do not have to reflect reality in any way.


You have 2 class periods to work on this assignment.


You need to post the jpeg version of your projects to your blog.  You should save your Photoshop files as well.
