Project #1 - Surreal Composite Image Student Name:_________________________________________

Project:
Two composite images will be created using similar or the same imagery to address and explore the concepts of
surrealism. These surreal composite images will be created using multiple layers (at least 10 layers for each
image). These images should work together in some way (concept and idea – objects, color etc) and feed off each
other. You will write a brief for this project describing what you are addressing in this work.

Technical issues for each image:

You must use layer(clipping) masks on at least 8 layers.
You must use blending modes on at least 3 layers.
You must save and load at least two selections
