May 2024 Shift Art Photoshop Challenge – OPEN
Theme: Through A Window
The challenge this month is to create an image or scene “through a window”. What is out there? Is it day or night? Something realistic or completely fantastical? Aliens from space or are we suddenly underwater? This challenge is about working with the compositional technique of “framing”. How can you incorporate the window itself into the artwork? You can use one of the window images provided, or find your own, but remember to meet the requirement of using at least 3 assets from the resources provided. Have fun! We can’t wait to see what you see!
