The "Flat" Collage

To create this collage based on one of UIW's core values (faith), I worked mainly in Photoshop where I applied layer masks, adjusted layers and worked with shadows to give this piece a more realistic effect.

Face Trace

  • I changed a JPG portrait of myself to Grayscale color mode in Photoshop.​

  • Then, I placed the digital file in Adobe Illustrator and created 6 values from dark to light.​

  • I worked with the pen tool to trace the face and then I added some dimension by using the darker values to add shadows and the lightest values to add highlights.​​
