Create a full bodied portrait using two recognizable personalities by juxtaposing the head of one onto the body of the other. Do not just scan two photographs and blend. Either illustrate your own people in pencil/color pencil/ paint etc or create in photoshop and/or illustrator. As you look at the newly created "person," you will respond to both your traditional image of each personality and to the newly formed altered image.
Altering images in this way, combing the expected with the unexpected, has the power to hold attention. This is one of the prerequisites of effective communication. Attracting someone's attention even for seconds is a most desired result in the communication world, where each day thousands of images are vying for consideration.
Please make sure that your two people create a stunning combination that will attract attention.
Remember: you may do a brilliant job blending two people together, but if the overall image is void of concept, then you have failed at the project. Create new and surprising imagery...imagery that takes on new meaning. Don't simply mash images together just to mash. Think!
