Friend Collage Project

pattern bases

Here is my friend collage project. I decided to use principles from the retro poster tutorial to complete this. I used the two paper textures to create a background along with some rendered clouds. Then I proceeded to select the portions of each picture I wanted using the selection tools and pixel masks. After I had all of them arranged, I changed to blending mode to multiply for half of them and vivid light for the other half. Then, I used an intricate series of layer masks to make sure each picture was directly over the background rather than the other pictures. This gave each picture the worn paper effect. Last, I filled in the blank spots with some patterns and added a caption :)
