Gimp 4: Changing Context

Assignment Description:
This assignment was developed to inspire creativity within ourselves as we were instructed to take a picture of the school and digitally add objects to change the context of our photo. By using pictures from the internet and many tools in Gimp we were able to alter the photo in unexpected ways.

Picture:

This was originally a simple shot of the outside of one of the stairwells in our school. I wanted to set the building in a mystical-looking environment by placing it inside a cave thriving with lush rain forest vegetation and ghostly birds.













What I Learned:
I learned how to use layers to create multiple parts of a picture. I also used the scale and perspective tools to change the different elements in an attempt to get a pleasing balance of objects. I messed around with the opacity of different layers to create the allusion of transparency, and used color saturation to make certain hues pop.
