> Juxtaposynthesis
   
  The objective for this project is to create a photograph of an imaginary object that is the combination of two dissimilar things. In other words, juxtapose two objects and create a synthesis so that the end result is more or less believable.
  Either scan or use the digital camera to create beginning images. You can also use found photographs.
  Create a simple setting for your object. Create shadows and appropriate blurs to make the space convincing.
  Pay particular attention to color and reflected light so that the environment in which your object sits both effects and is effected by the object.
  Project One: take the surface texture from one object and apply it to another to create a strange hybrid.
  Project Two: make a tool or utensil that looks like it may have a function but is some odd combination of elements.
  Project Three: take something that belongs in one environment and put it into another in which it does not belong.
Project Four: change something subtle but profound in an easily recognizible scene.

  When using found photos, try to use stock photography, and try to use images that are not already more powerful than your final image. The source photo should not be more creative than your juxtaposynthesis.
   
Create your images in psd (photoshop format) at 300 dpi, for printing. Save final image in jpeg format at 72 dpi for the web. Always keep the higher resolution (300dpi) image for future reference.
   
  Photoshop effects should be transparent; that is, we should not be aware of them or wonder about which ones you used. You should make the focus the object or the scene, not how you did it.
