Staircase of Dreams is a surrealist collage project that specified layering at least 7 photographs in Adobe Photoshop to create a one-of-a-kind design.
First, a grand staircase inside a baroque building was found. Then a whimsical design established based off the building’s grand architecture and stunning glass ceiling.
Soon imagery of a night sky, ocean floor, and clouds were added using the masking tool and brush tools at various opacity levels to the edges of each photograph together. Then a person was added in a bright contrasting green coat at the bottom of the staircase, which helps lead the eye up the staircase, into the night sky and bright moon.
In conclusion, originality, thoughtful placement of elements, and following the directions of adding at least 7 photos were met for this dreamy image.
