week3

Assignment: Combine a linclon era photo and a photo that I have recently taken.
Craft: I uploaded my recent photos and saved them to a new folder. I moved the lincoln era photos from the flash drive and saved them in a folder labeled old photos. I went into photoshop and imported the photos into the program. I used the new photo as a background and two shots of lincoln. I copied lincolns face from both photos. I placed each face on top of my friends in the photo using the scale tool. I changed the photo to black and white, lightened up lincolns face, and lined the eyes up with the people in the background picture. I used the brightness/contrast tool to make the skin colors match the burn key to lightened up the eyes.
Composition: I chose these photos because I wanted to merge the ideas and roles of the young African American male with the importance of lincoln to our culture and history.
Concept: I am trying to display the African American urban culture of todays youth and add a little of the history to it, which added a little humor to the photo.
