To begin, I found a space background and adjusted the image by changing its size to a 12×12, 150 ppi and RGB. To fill in the white on the bottom and the top of the image, I used the clone stamp. In order to select the images, I either used the elliptical marquee to achieve the perfect circle cut out or the quick selection tool. Next I selected a mask to adjust the edges with feathering, contrast, and shift edge. To add the cut outs to the background I copied and pasted the images and played around with their placement and transformation. Following that depending on the image, I adjusted the hue and saturation, perspective, and for some and added a drop shadow. My inspiration for this came from the legend of the bobcat with sleeping giant. For one of my images I wanted to make it seem as if the sleeping giant was looking down at the bobcat heading to QU. I hoped to set the mood with the glowing moon, and the silhouette of the bobcat in the moon as well. In my other creation I wanted to make it seem as if the solar system was surrounding around the bobcat named QU and the sleeping giant looking down on Qu. I used the starry night background in hopes to eliminate some of the negative space. The sky is the limit for us students here at Quinnipiac.
