PANNA ONG - PROJECT 4

Original Image, I used Sharpen Image to make it more crisp.

This is my "Fortress of Solitude"

I had to cut out the Planet of this image:

I used the Pen-Tool to extract the planet. I Pasted the image of the planet onto the image of the snowy mountain. To get the faded look I added a mask to the plant and used the gradient tool to achieve the fade look.

I also had to extract the city from this image using the pen tool.

I duplicated the background and place the cut out of the city under it. I used the brush eraser tool and erased the parts of the copy of the background so it looks like the city is a little behind the mountain.

As for the text, I used a font I had downloaded from http://dafont.com and applied some layer effects like drop shadow and stroke.

I also used the stroke option to get the black and white border around the image. They are 2 separate strokes.

Overall this was a fun project. I liked how it turned out. It makes me want to go snowboarding!
