How To: Opposites Photo

They’re opposites

I made this photo edit to put in my final story. It was inspired by the visual assignment prompt, Opposites Attract Meme. Though I did not turn it into a meme, I made the edit fit my story. This edit represents the two main characters, Draco and Sam, who have two differing personalities.

How I made this edit:

  • I started by looking for two photos that would fit the characters. For Draco, I picked an image from Google Images. For Sam, I didn’t want to use a personal photo so I downloaded a photo from pexels.com.

  • After I decided on my photos, I went to edit them on the Adobe Photoshop Mix app on my phone. I clicked the + button on the top right corner to start my project.

  • I imported Sam’s photo first by clicked Image – On my iPhone – Import

  • To add Draco’s photo next, I clicked the + button in the middle of the screen, this added the Draco photo as the top layer.
  • Next, I edited out the background of Draco’s photo. To do this I used the Cut Out Basic Eraser tool.
  • I wanted to fix the coloring of the two images, so I used the Looks Feature and picked a filter for the separate photos For Draco, I used Sweet. For Sam, I picked Instant.

  • I saved the edited photo to my camera roll and went to a different app, VSCO. I began by pressing the + button on the top right corner to add my image.

  • Once I added my image, I pressed the icon with the 2 bars with circles on them, to see the filters.
  • I went with the filter, ACG with the setting on +10.4.

  • Once I was satisfied with the final photo, I hit ‘Save’  and the three dots, which gave me the option to Save to Camera Roll.

All Done!

Using Photoshop or another image editing program create an image inwhich you combine two animals that traditionally hate each other to form a new hybrid animal. Consider adding text.
