Blog #3: Me(me)

Creating the Concept 

For this project, I wanted to combine two of my favorite memes from two of my favorite movies.

The first meme is the confused Troy Bolton meme from High School Musical 2. The second meme is the "Where the hell have you been, Loca?" from Twilight.

Creating the Rough Draft

I knew that for this meme, I wanted to have Jacob Black fading into the background, similar to 80s pictures of people and their cats (an example can be seen below).

For this effect, I chose to use the gradient blur on the smart object of Jacob Black. I also created the layers within the image to put both Jacob and Troy on the same layer. 

I had trouble using the gradient blur and blending it well, however, this will come with practice and will get better for the final product.

Rough Draft

This was the final rough draft and my layers panel when I was finished.
