My Trip to Egypt ;)


My Concept for the project was very simple. I wanted to make it about travel , I choose a place that I have never been before. I choose Egypt with is a very common location people like to visit. The concept was to make me look like typical tourist. Tourist like to take pictures where it looks like they are holding  important monuments. In i choose to make it in two location i was in Egypt and in my hand I held the statue of liberty.  I wanted to  make it look like a tourist picture.  I titled my project " Trip to Egypt ;) because my background is located in Egypt, It seem very fitting for what I had done in my project. In my piece the background is Egypt and their a dessert fox most of my composition involves Egypt.  I love my result because it looks like simple composition , but it was actually lots of work. It looks exactly how I imagined it in my head. The color blend well in my opinion. The added part actually look realistic .I like how it looks realistic but also has some elements that clearly don't belong but I still love it. I'm very happy with my project.


  1.  First the Egypt background was placed in the first layer.
  2. Then another layer was added with, the picture of me
  3. I added a layer mask and used the paint brush to clear out the background. I used the black paint
  4. then another layer was added of a picture the statue of liberty. 
  5. I resided it and place it on top of my hand.
  6. then a layer mask was added to erase the part that were unwanted
  7. another layer was added with the picture of the fox. It was re sized
