1. Kensington Girl's School: I took these shots at an abandoned girls' finishing school in Kensington, Maryland Sept. 2006 around 7:30 a.m. The school was inspired by the 1893 World's Fair and features buildings in ten-styles inspired by various world architechture - you'll even find a Japanese pagoda!) Even though the photo of the bust is a bit out of focus, I think that it worked well as a blending texture. It offers the suggest of the statue without demanding attention. Further, the texture of overgrown ivy and chipped plaster is predominant at this site. The site is not open to visitors, but I admit its still one of my favorite places to explore and one of my favorite memories in Maryland. I downloaded a font from dafont that seemed to be chipped and wrapped in ivy of its own.

I like the way the other picture is faded to the point you almost can't see it. It makes the picture pop a bit more.
ReplyDeleteI like so many aspects of this picture! First, I like how the statue is like a ghost or shadow in the picture, it has a really cool effect. I like the colors of the photo, it makes it look old and intriguing. And, I LOVE your font choice!
ReplyDeleteThis is a really pretty building. I love the angel you have here. It looks beautifil. The font was a really good choice as well. Again, great job!
ReplyDeleteYour angles are creative and the ruff texture from the wall behind the statue i think accents well with the font and script. It would be a great ad in a housing pamphlet.
ReplyDeleteI love how subtle the blending is.
ReplyDeleteI noticed that a lot of people used textures for this edit project, but you used an image of a statue...and it turned out beautifully!
ReplyDeleteCool. You made the texture look as if that was the texture of the columns. Good job!
ReplyDeleteThese two photos go together so well. It really creates the look of old roman or greecean columns.
ReplyDeleteWOW Hill, this bled is AMAZING! I would put this picture in my house! Great job!
ReplyDeleteThose two pictures work really well togegther, good job!
ReplyDeleteWow I love it! Really nice blending. It would have been nice if the statue bled more onto the other photo so it wasn't cut off by the brick... if that makes sense. But really it's beautiful. Nice work!
