Tina Clark fallenangel1333: Ocean or Myth?

Ocean or Myth?
That was my choice.
I decided to go with Ocean as it would be easier to design something event related and plus, I love the water.
I then had to figure out what media I was working with. I want to go into event planning but how could I demonstrate my graphic design skills to boost the little skills I know in event management? I started drawing cake designs and centre pieces and party favours (pic 1) but it's one thing to design them and another to make them come to life, which I really didn't have the time or money to do. So the next option was print media, design invitations, name cards and other print related things need for parties. So I sketched this really neat invitation (pic 2) for a Bon Voyage Party and I was going to make it a pull out card so when you pulled the cork out of the bottle the scroll in the bottle would have all the info of the party. I started to design it but I was limited with the resources I had. I gave up.

I was really frustrated. I started googling random things that had to do with the ocean, I then came across tutorials for photoshop. This got me thinking, I love photoshop so why not use this as a chance to further my knowledge in photoshop and learn some new things. So I set off and found a really interesting tutorial that I could modify to include ocean. Link is here.

I used an image I found on google of someone holding scuba goggles.

I then removed the water mark using the clone brush tool and using a mask I hid the background.

I then found another goggle image of a beach and placed it behind the goggles. I then placed a smaller image of the "Lost City of Atlantis" in the goggles, matching it up with the horizon line of the ocean. I guess in a way my image includes myth as well.
