I did my graphic collage on my experience at the 2018 ELeague Boston CS:GO Major. All the photos were taken with my phone while at the event. I wanted to show the passion of the fans of the game, the awesome visuals at the event and the winning team. It was actually a very historic finals as it saw the first north american team win a major and the finals is universally accepted as the best major finals in the game’s 12 majors.  I showed the passion of the fans with the shouting fans photo. I used the selection tool and cropped out the fans that were on the big screen. I transformed it to be a bigger size. I also tried to sharpen it but I couldn’t tell the difference. I did the same with the bottom left photo with the fans celebrating. I showed off some of the cool visuals with the smoke and fire picture that says CS:GO and the lifting of the trophy with all the confetti. I did the same thing I did with the fans photo. I put a layer mask on each photo and had it kind of fade into the ELeague Logo. I took out the champions team and the logo of the team and did the same thing as all the other photos but raised the opacity on these ones to highlight them because it was the event that they won. I also tried to sharpen and also turned the teams photo into a smart object to try and adjust the positioning of it.

For my revision I took the feedback from my peers and tried to make some of the surrounding photos more visible. In class we spoke about how I wanted to move the Eleague logo to look like its right in front to match the other photos. By pressing edit image, while I was clicked on the layer, I clicked warp perspective and moved it until It was in a potion facing the viewer. I tried this but it ended up looking weird and my photos clashed on top of the logo more and I wanted to keep the champions more visible. To make it work I would of had to make them less visible. I didn’t know how to make the photos better quality. I really didn’t change much except for the biggest issue. I like the way it came out even if I wasn’t able to show case more Photoshop skills.
