Process :Picture was cut out from the sides, the sky and background remained the same. Then, we copied a piece of the background and copied it 80 times in different layers and flattened the image so we could blend them all together. Next, we added some brush strokes, and a grid, along with matching yellow lines. The layout was meant to be a pop-up for both resolutions. The text was added on the top with highlight and stroke. Pretty simple overall but worked very well.
Description : The picture has a great sunset look to it and we couldn’t kill that so we just added some more sky to the side. It is a very pleasant layout including the famous couple Kenshin and Kaoru. Kaoru is hanging onto Kenshin as she looks scared and wants to be protected. Yellow lines, complementing the layouts are running on the side to make way for the iframe and add some color. It has a pretty mystical sort of appeal to it.
