This original composition was created completely in Photoshop CS3 as a creative exercise to familiarize myself with some of the new features. In using some previous compositions as elements in the design, my intent was to showcase these previous works in a unique way. Additionally, this was also submitted as a creative composition for one of my classes this term. Overall time spent on this project was around 10 – 12 hours, but this factors in everything from conceptualizing to completion of the finalized work.

I created a couple of makeshift HDR images in Photoshop to test out some concepts I had come across for simply using a single JPEG image as the source for the compositions.

Overall, I think the results I have come up with here are decent though the source images were very limiting as to their color levels and overall quality. Not true HDR images, but something with a bit more color range as well as stronger contrast, as was the goal here and done just for fun!
