This image is based on the movie, Alice in
Wonderland. At first, I simply put the picture of the plate (which
plays the role of a clock) on top of the picture of my sister dressed as the
Mad Hatter, and began experimenting with blend modes. I soon realized
that many of the blend modes I liked left the black lines of the clock on her
face and hands, so I opened the clock picture in PhotoShop and used the
content-aware fill to get rid of the black lines that covered her face. I
then decided open the image in Illustrator, and I used the pencil and pen tool
to create the squiggly lines. I also used the pathfinder tool to create
the arrows.
I then dragged the new clock image back on top of
the picture of Mad Hatter and chose the darken color bland mode. This
left the image looking a little too dark though, so I used a brightness and
contrast adjustment layer to bring back the brightness of the image.
