Week 6: Final Project


These collages are made out of onion rings and an eyeball. My classmates had a problem with the first set of collages because the human eye in the center didn't look realistic. When I selected the different hue colors on the three colored onion rings, the eyeball also turned a different color. First, I went back to my original cutout of the eyeball in the onion ring. I deleted the pixels that I wasn't using around the eyeball using the rectangular marquee, polygon lasso tool, and the eraser to get the perfect shape. I selected my final cutout and copied and pasted it in each collage. I put this layer first so that the eyeball cutout was in the front of the collage. For each collage I went to the drop down section and clicked on transform and then the scale tool. I had to play with the scale of each eyeball cutout for each collage because each collage had its own scale. Then I went back to all three collages and made each hue color brighter so it stood out more. I arranged the eyeball cutout this way to make the human eye look more realistic. I wanted the all the eyeballs to match and have all the characteristics of a real eyeball. I am controlling the viewers eye by positioning the eyeball layers on top of each of the onion rings in the center. The eye starts on each of the colored onion rings and keeps going inside each of various frames till the eye reaches the pupil. This is an eyeball inside an onion ring and it doesn't mean anything in particular. I am trying to say by making more than one cutout of an item can make the image look more realistic when playing with different hue colors.
