Own Digital Experiments

Below are some of my own digital experiments that I created using a tutorial for the background and I freelanced with the rest. I have also used my own photographs. 

I firstly followed a tutorial to create a smoky background. I wanted to have a bit of texture on the background as I feel it gives it more depth and gives you something more to look at rather than a plain scene behind. Next I added a cloudy background on top of the smoke, and took the opacity down. I did this was because I wanted it to be more textured. After this I added a colour layer that suited the particular story. Then I added a text into the layers, I chose a font that had a little be it of a fancy look to it. I wanted to make the text more flowing with the smoky background, so I smudged the letters with the smudge tool. After that I opened up a new page and uploaded photos that I took my self of the main things that relate to the plot of the story: Roses, Shoes, Hairbrush, Basket and an Apple. I added alittle bit of contrast and added a bit of colour so the image would stand out from the cloud background. Finally I added the edited pictures to the bottom right corner so that would the last thing you see. I really like this idea because it combines text and photographs. I feel that I am more confident with photographs than drawing experiments.
