Here is my first try. It is pretty simple but I had a lot of fun and learned a surprisng amount. I will definitely need to take more time to tinker with it to become more comfortable.
For this image, I downloaded 2 separate images for the internet, one of a clam and one of an otter swimming in the ocean. I used these images to create the initial 2 layers.
By using the alpha function, I was able to isolate the image of the otter by cutting out the background.
I inverted the image of the otter and placed it over the mouth of the clam.
Next I was able to create the speech bubble by drawing a circle and using the lasso function to create the V that emerges from the circle. I erased the lines that separated the two and filled in the shape with the bucket tool.
Adding text was a challenge as I had forgotten about the importance of the hierarchy structure in the layers. After figuring out this problem with the instructor, I was able to implement the text.
And… voila! the otter-clam was born.
I am excited to try out these new image development strategies again along with adding filters and manipulating colour.
