Description: In this student-assigned project, I began by brainstorming ideas for an impossible composite. I came up with
the concept of sailboats sailing through the clouds. I found the images of clouds, sailboats, a whale, and a fisherman. I
used the image of the clouds as the base layer and then built from there. I took the images of both the sailboats and the
whale and masked them. I also masked the parts of the clouds to overlap over the boats. I also put a water filter over the
bottom parts of the clouds to put in front of the whale to create the illusion that the whale is swimming through the clouds.
Lastly, I color corrected to make all the images look like they belong.
