Assignment
This is a small and fun assignment I’ve done for a potential employer. My task was a retouch assignment, to cut out the guy in the middle (from the image below) and put him on a different background of my choice.
Space Jumps
The first thing I decide was a background in which I could make the guy make sense in the pose he was in. I wanted it to not be too serious, but not too silly. I’m a big fan of space, and I thought it could be fun to make it appear as if the person was being catapulted from earth across the universe. A simple solution for a simple task.
When I had the basic idea, I cut out the guy in the middle, added a space background and positioned the earth. To make it look good, I had to make some color correction from the reflections on his clothing and skin. By adding some motion blurring I tried to visualize the motion of being catapulted from earth into space.
Feedback
It’s a small project, and the edits made are pretty basic and simplistic, maybe because I am not the most proficient with Photoshop, but I’m happy with my simple, yet clever solution. It did not lead to me getting the job, but I was fortunate to receive some good feedback.
