Digital Montage #1




The picture of Homer Simpson in Times Square, N.Y.C., NY, is unique. I wanted to break the barrier of real life and cartoon life, by combining the two. Homer is palced in the forground of the picture, he's not dead center, making him even more noticeable. I united Homer with the real world by scaling him down to size (edit, transform, scale), so he can blend in with the real people around him.I also changed the brightness and the hue of his clothes and skin, he was quite bright before, but I "dulled'' him down a bit, to coexist with the other colors in the real world. But Idid brighten up the cross walk and street signs, as well as the Verizon wireless check mark. (top left, on skyscraper). The two images are Times Square, and Homer Simpson. I changed the color value of the "One Way" sign, (Mid-right) and I obviously changed the color value of Homer. I don't know the date of the picture of Times Square, nor Homer. Homer seems to be mad for some reason, mainly because he has his arms crossed. I conveyed my mood (humor/enjoyment) successfully by mixing Homer Simpson in a chaotic situation. When I saw the picture of Times Square, a light bulb lit up in my head, which lead to this comical result
