Digital Surrealism using Photoshop

1.     The message I want to send to people is that in the most famous saying “don’t judge a book by it’s cover but with a twist. In my picture I want to show that there is a mask on me and the other faded pictures/figures are the emotion on the inside. The symbolism I used for the picture to stand out more was probably the sign with the trust crossed out and the computer smiley face on my face. Through those symbolism like the no trust sign for that I feel sometimes I have no trust for people even my best friends. Then for the smiley face that’s covering my face that it’s trying to show the mask feel in the picture. 

2.     From the beginning I started sketching different things and how I would do them on Photoshop but most of them were going to be kind of on my experience. I finally decided to one that had me in the middle with headphones smiling. Then some people in the background with sad emotions. Through that I took a picture of Angelina with the green screen. Found a black and white background so the faded pictures could be seen easier. Then I used mask for Angelina the rest I put them on the picture and eased the edges.  I used multiply for all my images

3.     Through process of doing this surrealism assignment I not satisfied with what I have done. I feel that I can do better. I feel for myself that I rushed myself.
