The Group
This is the Photoshop image of my entire group in one photo. I started with a picture of a book, and first added Josh sitting down on the book while reading the same book. I then added Phoebe as a drawing on the side of the book. Next I put my self underneath a flap in the book, so it would look like I was hiding. Finally I added the last person in my group, Bianca, on the right side of the book, popping up out of a hole in the book pages. I had to use the shape tool to create a hollow circle, then I used the book page lines and put that behind the circle to imitate a hole in the book. I then added a color correction because the image was a bit green, and to sharpen the image. I also added shadows to each person to give it a more realistic look. I added in everyone's names so you can know who each person is.

Collin
This is a picture of myself hanging from a shelf in this classroom. Josh took a picture of me with my arm up as if I was hanging. I entered the class and took a picture of the shelf, and then I decided to shrink my self down and be hanging from a small shelf at the corner of the classroom. It was a more simple edit, as I simply used the magnetic lasso tool to cut out the background, I scaled myself down, and placed the photo on the ledge. I then added subtle shadows and a color correction to get the pictures to match. I saved it as a JPEG, and then used filters on it to make it a pencil drawing. I used Glowing Edges for the pencil marks, Charcoal for some shading, and Colored Pencil to bring back some detail. Then I cropped it to give the main subject more attention.

Josh
This is a picture of one of my group members, Josh. He likes reading books, so I used a picture of him reading. I made sort of a good vs evil theme with darkness on the left side of his body and light on the right side. Similar to the way that the left is the devil's hand. I used multiple adjustment layers to change the shadows and exposure of the picture. I also added fire on one side of the book, and glow on the other side.

Phoebe
This is a picture of phoebe diving into a swimming pool. I had a picture of her in a diving position, so I found a picture of a diving board. Unfortunately, there was a different person already jumping off of the diving board, so I had to use the stamp tool to remove them from the photo, while still keeping the sky's pattern. I then masked out Phoebe from the background. Finally, I sized and positioned her so it appeared as if she was leaping off the diving board.. in her clothes. I added an interesting color correction in attempt to blend the two separate photos together, and I added some filters to give it some texture.

Bianca
This is a photo of my group member, Bianca. I had a picture of the upper half of her body, so I decided to mask out the background. I found a picture of a woman on a horse, so I decided to put Bianca's head over the woman's head. I had to mask out Bianca's clothing to just get her face and hair. I put it over the woman's head, but it looked awkward. So, I unmasked Bianca's chest and changed the skin color with curves to match the skin of the woman. I then used the stamp tool to take out the stray hairs and such from the original horse rider. I then had to mask out Bianca's hair according to where the horse's mane was. I then added on an old-times color correction, which I think fit very well.
