This project so far is my favorite because I like the idea so much, even though it is, somewhat cliche. I feel very good on the way the final composite came out, though it was tough to create the wave from scratch. The vehicles in the wave was pretty difficult to come up with some type of effect for them. Originally there was suppose to be some buildings in the background, behind the wave. But I figured why would their be buildings in the background if the water needs to come from somewhere right? 'Hence' this is a bride over water.
I started with the two streets cropping them to the right size and shape. Then I began with the
most difficult and time consuming part of this project, the side walk barricade. I created the
barricade with a picture of concrete and then I duplicated and transformed that shape into
the barricade. After this, I started with the wave, at first I was thinking to myself this was going
to be a pain. But after a few attempts I started getting a good visual idea and then I applied a
watery and waving photo (texture) to get a more life-like feel. I proceeded to add the cars and
then shadows to mostly everything to make the wave feel huge and disasterous. I also used
the brush to add some wave bubbles in front of the wave and around it. Then I added the
background clouds and light posts, adding minor overlays and color adjustments.
