Entry #3: When Graphic Artists Get Bored...


So, it is said that graphic artists like to take random pictures and have fun with them by using Photoshop. Apparently they are funny and able to think outside the box.
I think the most interesting picture was the one with the person who has cars for feet. I really like this image because it is a metaphor for how people use cars. it shows the people use cars as if they were your feet. As if we need them to move around in the city or wherever you live. As if there are no other options to get where we want to go. It shows that people would rather take the easy way out rather than have to do things the hard way, where you actually learn something while doing these actions.
I think this image was really easy to create, and the effects were easy to achieve. I think the artist took pictures of the car, and a picture of a person's ankles and feet. Then they put each picture on a separate layer. The artist would then copy the car and paste it onto the same layer. Then, they would take one of the cars, and distort it to fit onto the person's foot. But first they would have to magic erase the person's actual feet. They would then do the same with the other car. Then, the artist would have to clone stamp the shadows so that it looks realistic. After that they would probably just blur the parts where the pants and the car connect. I think that's basically how the artist created their hybrid image.
