Crying Girl Print

September 2019

Overview

I did a lot of research into layer masking and surrealism to gain inspiration for this project. There were lots of designs that focused mainly on surrealism and bold colors, but I wanted to make something simple and beautiful. In Adobe Photoshop used layer masking and the paintbrush tool to create the illusions in this piece. I used a color theme of black and white to make everything seem cohesive. I used negative space to show shadows and depth in the design.

This was a style of design that I did not have much experience in before this project. I enjoyed using layer masking to meld together different images to convey something completely different. I love how the different elements came together to create this image and the feeling that it evokes as well!
