Multiplicity Assignment

 

The assignment this week was to take at least 6 pictures of ourselves and combine them into one single image involving a story. I had a lot of trouble with the assignment this week. At first, I had high hopes for taking a cohesive picture and story, but I don't like how my photoshop ended up coming out. The original idea was to have 6 different Kirby's, since he has different abilities, all in the same photo. The "abilities" I chose include shower Kirby, meditation Kirby, hula Kirby, chef Kirby, sleeping Kirby, and jumping Kirby. While I did have 6, I just feel like since the costume is so round and pink all the Kirby's start to blend together and I don't really like it. As well as this, I also think that I am too close to the camera since all of my Kirby's are touching so I wish I chose a better spot where I could've backed the camera up further. I also had much difficultly with the process of trying to apply to layer masks to each other, so I ended up having to utilize other tools and practices, like the selection tool, to get all my pictures combined. However, I did end up enjoying being able to see and learn the different ways multiplicity pictures can be created using different methods. Overall, I think the illusion of multiplicity is there but if I were to redo this project I would definitely opt for a more cohesive story, different outfits, and a better place to take the pictures.
