GP_11_1: 2.3 Making a composite image | Rocky View Schools

For this assignment, you will be blending two or three images together to make a composite image which is entirely new.

You have likely seen composite images in advertisements, on magazine covers or on social media. They are meant to be playful and to cause the viewer to do a second take, to make sure that they were seeing things right.

Composite Images: What are they?

Start with an idea, then look for images. You might want to take a picture or two of your own for this assignment but it is not required.

Look at the image to the right. Here you see a goldfish in a bowl, right? On closer inspection, you see that it is in a lightbulb. We can refer to these kinds of images as visual puns.

For your assignment, you will want to start with a recognizable image, then you can play with it. Perhaps it is a child with a balloon on a string. What can you replace the balloon with? The moon? or the Earth? An egg? It is up to you.

Once you have created your image, write a reflective response in which you explain your original idea and what you had to do to achieve it. Make it clear whether you took any of the pictures yourself, or how you arrived at choosing the ones that you did. Also, explain any challenges which you encountered and how you dealt with them.
