Nasa Collage

[Kodie]

Working on developing collages. Here are 2 I recently completed of photos taken at the Air & Space Museum in D.C. Comments welcomed

Welcome to PS Gurus Kodie.

Are these your photographs or have you altered each by adding text? That alone would not make the photo a collage -- by definition. Am I missing something? What's your goal?

 

[Kodie]

These are my photos taken at the Smithsonian. I combined/blended photos together of the astronaut, the lander and the space capsule and added text to each one. This is my first venture in blending photos together and I want to see if I am on track in the procedure I am using. I have a project coming up that will incorporate my using blended photos.

Good job. The composition and balance could use some work, but the compositing is well done.

How about trying to cut out the spacemen via pen tool or quick mask, put a soft edge to them or even blur out slightly, then place in your other images.
Just an idea?

 

[Kodie]

Thanks, I will try the soft edge and blur effects.

 

[Kodie]

Thanks, I will work on some composition changes

I was trying to imagine what the original source photos may have looked like....

For instance in image 1, you could do without the cloud mural background behind the lander and superimpose something else. The sign borad on the far right -- is it part of the lander image? You could taken that out as well as the man below it and eased in the astronaut into its place.

my 2 cents....

I think these look great. They look like the could be on the cover of a brochure for these museums. Like Paul said, if you're going for a full-on "space" collage, you could get rid of some of the backgrounds.

But if your intent is to show the museum, don't change a thing.
