In this series I have begun to think about new ways in can use this content aware feature to create some engaging imagery. Here I have combine a few techniques that I have already been using. Crowds has been created by sourcing images that have complex compositions of crowds of people through Google’s search by image function taking the images that filled the frame and created a texture rather than any sort of form. From theses images I created a blank photoshop document and complied the images across the canvas. After flattening the image I filled the white spaced with sections of the other images and the vast absurd photomontage was formed. these united crowds draw each other together. I really like how we are looking at up to as many as 15 different images in one frame yet there are no lines or barriers separating these images instead they morph together to create this giant texture. I feel that this could be used in a number of ways
Crowds can be strange environments, often they will have an opposition, weather that be fans of an opposing team or a vigorous police force at a demonstration or protest. At the moment these images are nothing more than experimentations but I feel that come how combining two opposing crowds of people using this technique might create something quite powerful.
I feel that these images posted online do not do them justice. Because they are made up of so many different images, the whole image is packed full of detail. These images would be transformed if they were printed out on a large scale. To progress this project I think that I am going to continue to elements of ‘search by image’ and the content aware functions but experiment with more ways to use the software and possibly start to include my own imagery.
