For our fifth assignment I decided to create a photo based on games of chance. With the first photo being a poker table, this photo was created completely using scanned objects. Using the scanner I first scanned the playing cards that I wanted to use, then with the magic wand I selected and sized each card to fit in with the image size. The next step was to give the illusion of a card being tossed onto the pile. To achieve this affect I sized one card( the ace of spades) larger than the other cards then used the radial blur tool to give the affect of the card turning. To make the money pile I copied each layer then merged the layers. In the seconded photo I scanned some tarot cards and palm reading cards to represent telling the future. Along with the cards I added some old coins that went along with the cards.

  1. These are good technique-wise, but I would like to see a bit more work design-wise. Some unifying elements that are different than the main scanned objects would benefit the overall look. Would have been nice to see a printout too.
