creative challenge 37

Good evening, design friends!

This week, I decided to ask my newfound friend, ChatGPT, for a creative challenge to boost my creativity. I laughed when I read the suggestion; it was a great idea! The challenge was to take two random concepts and create a mashup. Honestly, I would love to revisit this idea and take it to the next level, updating this blog with what I can come up with. Hehehe!

For now, I chose to reimagine Little Red Riding Hood in a cityscape. I found an old photo of myself dressed as Red Riding Hood, removed the background, and then had ChatGPT generate a cityscape background. I merged the two images after editing out the background from my photo in Adobe Photoshop and added a gradient. 

Next, I brought the merged image into Adobe Lightroom to adjust the levels, aiming to keep the scene realistic while adding a slight gradient to make it appear as though the light source was coming from the moon. Initially, my lighting was too bright for the scene I wanted to create. I also added a bit of blue lighting to enhance the atmosphere and completed the look of Little Red Riding Hood in the city.

I was considering doing a mask for the hood to make it a striking red. What do you think?
