Man the Cannons
Spring 2025
Photoshop
Taking some feedback from the previous submission. And fighting with making a convincing shadow for a while, a new idea sprang up, if I couldn’t create a convincing shadow, I would remove the need for it. I adjusted the position of the Mandelorian in the frame. Creating a new mask from the background to bring one of the cannons forward so that the character could be positioned beside/behind it. I also spent a little time playing with the levels a little more so the character would not be completely in shadow and retain a little more detail. I felt adding any text, or additional details would make it messy and detract from the simpler nature of it all.
