Create a photo montage to explore surrealism

00:47

This 2.5-hour strategy helps students create a manipulative scene using several images in Adobe Photoshop in a simple yet creative way. Students will learn professional techniques to create realistic composites and tips to match a subject into any background in just a few steps. This strategy can be used for any project where students are required to create a photomontage or photo collage.

Because Adobe Photoshop allows the creation of professional and realistic composites, this strategy empowers students to demonstrate creativity through blending multiple images in one surreal scene. This strategy may be adapted for use with other Adobe products, such as Adobe Illustrator.

This project was created by Tina Korani, an Adobe Education Leader and Assistant Professor of Digital Media in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication at San Jose State University.
