JUXTAPOSE- Creativity Challenge

THE CHALLENGE 

Combine TWO images using LAYER MASKS to create a visually interesting result. Use contrast in image, color, and value.

DESIGN EXAMPLES

"Op artists", like BRIDGET RILEY  and VICTOR VASARELY
are great examples of how patterns can be used to make interesting visuals.


TOOLS 

Layer masks
Selecting tools (wand, select by color range)
Adjustment Layers


COOL TRICK

Create a black and white design in Illustrator, then drag it into Photoshop and create a mask from it....

OR

Use select by color range to select parts of an image to use as a mask on ANOTHER image....



Here is one example using a pattern as a mask:


And the Layers I used....


AND using a photo as a mask:





 I used the "select by color range" to select the face.... then made it into a mask!




Notice the Layer Mask is the same as the face!




Here is another view of the Layers.....
