Drawing Dave's Photoshop class: Badgers and Bombs (Abstract layer work)

For today's photoshop escapes it was our task to take a bunch of images and then arrange them in such a manner as to be unrecognisable next to the original images. Our first job was to use the images supplied by Dave featuring the moon, Einstein, a nuclear detonation, and an x-ray of a hand. Since I'm not really a fan of abstract art this was mostly me winging it in terms of lay out and composition, trying to find a balance between something good to look at while keeping a central focus. For me this was the eye of Einstein which despite the numerous replications I kept the eye on top of itself and the multiple eyes actually did a good job of enlarging the eye.

We are all sons of bitches

After the first image we were sent to retrieve images of our own so naturally I went straight for pictures of honey badgers and city scape's with an aim of creating a Godzilla like image although the honey badgers get lost in the layers of cities and pictures of stone angels.

That was all I managed in the three hour time slot although I can see how people can use these abstract art pieces to convey things, I'm just not sure it's for me.
