The goal for this project was to develop multiple Photoshop composites relating to a single object and incorporate creative strategies of combination, juxtaposition, isolation, metaphors or similes, change of context, physical similarity, and material change. I ideated, sketched, developed, and executed 7 different composites that incorporate a fire extinguisher, each composite with its own design tactic. This project challenged me to develop an array of ideas, narrow ideas down, and develop unique concepts that are both interesting and meaningful.

After making word maps and sketching, I gathered and captured images to make my vision come to life. Here are a few of these images.

Here are my final photoshop Compositions.

Change of Context: "Just Breathe"

Material Change, swap, or focus: "Surprise!"

Physical Similarity: "In Case of Emergency, Break Glass"

Metaphor or simile: "Losing Pressure Over Time"

Isolation: "Fire and Ice"

Juxtaposition: "Shield or Weapon?"

Combination: "Hot and Dangerous"
