Okay so a common thing that graphic design does is make photos seem unrealistic.

But this is the pure opposite.

We want you to create a manipulation that doesn't depict anything fantastical or epic. Just a normal day. Maybe a old man sitting in a red arm chair with a cup of coffee and news paper. And it has to be so realistic looking that hopefully I can't tell it was manipulated.

Achieving this type of realism is always hard. In any art medium.

But we believe in you!

REMINDER: This is not a contest. This is a challenge and you get nothing out of it other then experience and growth. We do occasionally take the graphics made by the people who do these and feature them. This is not a contest so don't expect anything from it.

We hope this is will grow your skills when it comes to making your Manips look real. Because that is a important skill to have. This means keeping the lighting and shadows all the same and making sure the coloring is all congruent. (This is where psds might be very useful)

It's hard but not impossible
