Image Photoshoping process 

These images were blended using Photoshop. I created a new blank document - Then open the two images that I wanted to use - Then using a drag and drop method placed them on to the blank document- This then creates two different layers with the two different images on. - A  the bottom of the of where the layer panel is you can add a layer mask it is the bottom square with a darker circle in the middle - Then making sure the layer mask is activated with a white box around it, I when on to use the brush tool to blend and fade the images in together- When using the brush tool i changed different sizes depending on if i was working on a large area or a small intricate part - The opacity of my brush stayed between 13% and 25% for a smooth transitioning blend with no harsh noticeable divide lines .

  

With this image I created two layer masks over the wooden images and one original layer mask over the upside down head. Then blending the tongue and the wood images, I found that control-+ was really helpful zooming in and being able to work using a really small brush size of 17 gave the best effect.
   

I decided to do some experimentation and try to combine one of the images I had chosen to work from in my final peaces and one of the images i had draw to be printed on asetae for the original collage. I feel like the composition of this image works well, the drawn hands frame the two blending heads that are creating an interesting view point for the observer because they can make there own judgement on what they feel in portrayed with in the image. For me what i want to be portrayed in the encapuslement of identity and how it shrouds our initial view point. This is what is happening towards the evey changing place we live in we are engulfed by industrialisation and this can become a-lot for people and this is what this image represents to me. The inner identity thoughts and feelings that only escape us when overcrowded with thoughts.
