Alex Acero Project 5: Layers & Transparency

My experience with this project was really fun. We learned so many new things like transparency and overlapping images. I learned that these are used in advertising and in company logos. We were tasked to make a composition out of abstract objects in Illustrator. I found out that you can actually have depth in your composition by using overlap and transparency, but it does take a while to get depth. The triadic colors I used for my composition were red, blue, and yellow. After that, we were tasked to make a collage with multiple pictures and use transparency and overlapping in photoshop. I learned how to use a clipping mask with the brush tool and a quick selection tool to get rid of anything that I didn’t need from an image and place it over another. I was able to let my creativity run wild while working on this project and I am proud of what I made in photoshop. This project help me learned a lot and I can’t wait to learn even more in our next project.
