These were all pretty much an experiment on how far Photoshop selection could take me, and I think that they turned out pretty well. The first two ended up being my final images, even though I really liked the last collage with all of the light posts. It just didn’t fit in with the water theme that I had with the other two images.
Since my Gestalt project focused around South Congress after the rain, my final two collages focused more on the theme of water, as well as the play on continuity and negative space creation. I “took” all of the images with their formal qualities in mind, as well as the perceptual qualities of water in the final two images. I liked interchanging between solid shape and abstract motion, much like you would see in ripples in a water puddle.
