Purrfect Sunset
this project is a tribute to my 2 cats, whose demeanor reminds me more of people than cats. They always cheer me up whenever I get to see them.

This was the first Photoshop project that I attempted. For this project, I constructed this image using multiple images that I took, with some stock images I found fit from the intenet.
Process
Research and Gathering
To start this project, I did some research on some other reconstructed images using Photoshop as well as thought up some ideas that I wanted to illustrate for my project.
Once I established the idea I wanted to carry out, I got to work on gathering some photos I would use for my final idea.
Drafting and Crafting
After finding the images that I will use for this project, I then assigned them each their use in the picture. For example, the yarn is acting as the sea, the kibbles are acting as the sunset sky, and the scratching post texture is being used as the sand.
To create this project, I first took a picture of me and my friend in suits. I then cut our faces out using the magic wand and lasso tool. Next, I took the background out, strategically placed the pictures of my cats in, and started constructing the background. I transformed textures using skew, and color corrected using filters and layer/color effects. every texture and piece in this craft is related to cats, so everything is relevant to the focal point.
