Designing a Background


This particular study asked us to use photoshop and techniques learned in class to design a set design or a background for a movie or video game. For my study I made several space scenes using various pictures of planets and moons and placing them together within photoshop. I also used several pictures taken from the Hubble Space telescope and other images of space layered using various blending techniques to get a unique and interesting background. My inspiration for this project was from another class I am taking this semester, Tour of the Solar Semester in which we study the solar system and other similar solar systems in our galazy. The images I created are similar to those scene in this class in several class videos.

This was my third creation of the series, in this one I experimented wiht adding lighting effects, I also began experiment with different blending techniques.

Set 3

This was my fourth and final in my set series, and was probably my favorite ceation to come out of this study, I got some really good lighting effects and the overall picture came out well,
