"Life moves pretty fast. If you don't slow down once in a while, you'll miss it!"

Ever wanted to skydive? How about play an instrument?  Travel somewhere?  No doubt, you have more than a few things that you want to do in your lifetime.   A Bucket List is the name given to a list dedicated to those very things.  One way to make it seem possible, is by seeing it, which is the motivation behind this week's CTA - Operation:  Bucket List 

TASK
Your task is to think of something you would like to do in your lifetime and using Photoshop, make it happen!  Find an image of yourself, the appropriate background of your Bucket List item and using your Photoshop skills, crop and adjust to make it feel like you've already done it!  Be sure to visit the example page on the website to see how it is done and inspire some of your ideas.  And be sure to stay tuned to the example page to see your work on display in the coming days!

Tips to Get You Started 

Tip #1 - What is important. 

​ Think about something you've always wanted to do, something that is important to you.  Travel, adventure, learning, living.  Anything is possible for a Bucket List

Tip #2 - Look For Inspiration

If you're still stuck, be sure to look at the examples page of student work as well as the internet to research common bucket list items.  

Tip #3 - Cropping Perfection

When it comes to combining your images within your template, be sure to use multiple cropping tools to create seamless edges.  

Tip #4 - Adjustment Layers 
​
What makes a good crop great is using an adjustment layer to try and get the colour tones of the separate images to match.  Levels, contrast, and some hue and saturation adjustment layers can create even more realism.
