Magical Realism Using Scale

Using at least THREE of your own photographs, create a surreal/magical realist composition in Photoshop. Scale should be a significant aspect of your design. You may select, crop, and place the elements in the composition in any way that presents them in an incongruous, unusual or “super normal” manner.

I will give an in-class demonstration of how to make Selections and use layers in Photoshop, and we will do a brief practice exercise showing me that you understand how to use the tools.

the image should be 11x11 inches and 300 dpi. Use at least 4 original images. You may use up to 2 images from the web.
