Project Description

So, it’s time to show your artwork in all it’s glory!

Assignment:

Your assignment is to create some composition with your artwork and some props, and take a photo of it, using your new knowledge from this class. It would be really-really great if you’ll make a few different compositions with one artwork, or create several compositions with different artworks.

Optionally, it’d be cool if you share with us your image before and after editing. And don’t be shy to share your images on Instagram account, tag me @magic_olly and include #showyourartbetter on your images. It’ll be great to see you awesome artworks)

Can’t wait to see your projects!

And just a quick reminder of what the "Rule of thirds" is

Rule Of Thirds

And if you need some beautiful stock photos, you can always find them on Creative Market

Also you can find inspiration or some images for your useful and informative posts on free photo resources. Many free photo stocks give unlimited possibilities to use their pictures, but at the same time, some of them require an attribution. So, be sure to check it again before you use an image of any such resource. Here are some of them:
