Photoshop Project 1

For the assignment of combining three different photos, this is what I ended up with. The exterior is the background which is a photo of the sky line by the lake next to the old art building. The interior is the inside part of the bricks on the path around campus. The human interaction is obviously me in the center. I used dust clouds I found on the internet to make the deteriorating effect coming off my face. My goal on the project was to show a sense of crumbling and breaking down. The bricks on my face represent the different things that make us who we are. My face isn't completely covered because new bricks have to be place there as we grow. At the same time, however, the bricks on the complete side are starting to be destroyed. The photo was made using 17 layers.
