12 Days of Photoshop - Day 4

On the fourth day of photoshop, we were introduced to the project, "Literal Interpretations". Take 5 compound words and create 5 images that show the words literally. For example, a firefly would be a fly on fire. The 5 words I chose were

firefighter

 Relatively simple, cropped out the other boxer from the picture and pasted in an image of fire and transformed it to make the picture fit.

headquarters

Also simple, just copy and pasted the quarter onto his head after taking out the white background of the coin.

rattlesnake

 Removed background from snake and rattle, then copied the rattle onto the snake and used blur tool to match the tail in the back which wasn't focused on.

watchdog

Removed the background from the watch, blurred it slightly, and cropped out the back so it would appear to actually be on the dog.

weatherman

Copy and pasted a picture of the cloud onto his head after removing its background.
