For my final project in this class, I created a textured photo collage inspired by the African savanna.

I began by applying a mirrored image effect to create a sense of symmetry and visual interest. Next, I used a Gradient Map to enhance the mood and color tone of the composition.

To bring depth and character to the piece, I layered in a texture and carefully blended it into the image.

The scattered clouds and flying birds add a sense of movement and serenity, bringing life to the wide, open landscape.

This class was an inspiring experience, and I really enjoyed exploring new techniques in photo manipulation and collage.
