Post Reach artwork / fun with photoshop
So... Ive had some time on my hands, especially while i was in the hospital all last week. I had an idea for a photoshop project that was going to push my amateur skills quite a bit... and... I'm mostly happy with how it turned out.

I can't -really- take any credit, because none of the work is 'original'. Everything was borrowed from the Reach website, Reach Rooms, webcam archives and then mashed up into...well... that. The mosaic includes pictures of EVERY presenter I could find, but because of the intricate design, some faces are cut out and things like that.

Use it or not, as you like. It was mostly a way to pass the long, lonely hours in the hospital and practice some novice skills. I hope you enjoy at least half as much as I did making it. =)

-Brandy

I love it! Maybe the Reach management could find a way to put this up on the website? How about it guys?

Well done Brandy! :D

I'm on it twice!

Good job Brandy, only thing I would ask is could it be made bigger? Some of the pics I'm struggling to see with my bad eyesight!

Aww thanks guys! I had great fun making it.

Rich, to clarify then, the photos in the mosaic are too small to see? Does the Reach logo need to be larger, or just the contents of the mosaic? Both?

I'll go in today and hand-place the images into the mosaic again, and see if I cant make things a little more distinct. I just apologize in advance to anyone I unintentionally leave out from the mosaic.

Dont get me wrong, it was very good work! Good job!

I opened it up in my browser and it wouldn't let me zoom in, so I couldn't make out quite a few of them, could you just make the whole image bigger?

That's really good Brandy, although I would agree the pictures are very very small.

Also, I can't see me anywhere :twisted: :wink:

Oh, absolutely NO problem Rich! Like I'd said, this was a skills challenge for me anyway, so doing it again, or redoing even just part of it for the practice is great.

Ollie, I seem to recall that you were at the top of the H, but that must have been in the original version. Let me play some more with it and see what I can come up with. This is very encouraging =)

Yeah... and I just did a second version. I think its just the nature of collage / mosaics that it might be difficult to pick a certain image out of the crowd. -I- know where everyone is, but thats because I placed you there.

Let me know if this is better.
