“Helo! I hope the content of the course was easy for you to understand how it works. Above all, I hope that you have absorbed the concepts to the fullest and that the things we talk about throughout all the classes are useful to you and that they serve you for all your personal and professional projects. I tried to share with you some of my techniques used in my daily life and I hope that you will be able to put into practice everything that I have transmitted to you without difficulty. For your project, remember that you can create an image with the same theme or choose a different one, whichever you prefer. I leave you with some quick tips to take into account in your creative process and to perfectly execute your final project and your future works! • Train the perspective topic with the tasks that I proposed throughout the course. One of the most important aspects to maintain the coherence of our image is to respect the lines that help us to incorporate different elements in the same perspective. • Remember: define the horizon line, find the vanishing point and draw your shape. • Combines multiple photos into one consistently. Always take care not to mix photos that have perspectives that are too different from each other so as not to make your work more difficult. • Cut out your elements using the cutout and mask technique that best suits your situation. • Color Grading and Color Match all of your elements. The saturation techniques you have learned will work for any and all processes. • Paint the light to give more realism to the image. Always try to keep an eye on the pressure and opacity of the brush so that it doesn't get too aggressive or that it looks too stylized. • Retouch the image in the Camera Raw Filter. Apply details to your image and make the necessary adjustments to correct minor errors or to make slight changes to colors, lights or shadows. • Layer Breakdown is one of the parts where you can show your audience how your image was made in a step-by-step manner. These are some parts of my project's creative process: Inspiration (mood board)
