Description: A spiritual montage made by blending two images and a background.

Process:

1. Opened Photoshop and cropped the background to 8.5 x 11.
2. I selected the image of Jesus Christ and the children around him, placed the photo on the right side of the background, and added a mask.
3. Using 10% – 20% opacity and a white paint brush I painted the hard edges of the image so the background and photo would blend.
4. I repeated that process with the adult and child holding hands.
5. I left white space above and below the hands that helped simplify the photo
6. I used to different fonts to put emphasis on the important words. Also I added a outer glow and drop shadow around the quote to make it stand out and be legible.
7. Programs/Tools Used: Adobe Photoshop

Message: I wanted to convey a spiritual message that Jesus Christ will always lead and help everyone throughout their life.

Audience: Anyone who wants to feel uplifted and remember where they can find help.

Top Thing Learned: How to blend two images and be artistic with them.

Filter / Colorization used and where it was applied: I selected the hands and added the unsharp mask filter for clarity.
