Process:
For this collage I used a Fotoblendz for my focal photo and then another Fotoblendz for the second photo, which I duplicated twiceI'll be talking about how to create a collage with Fotoblendz on the aA blog later this month. I arranged the images in a band design at the top of the page, juggling the layers to get the images to the size and location I liked. I then created a school of fish on the bottom of the page, using an extraction of a vintage fish print and duplicating it several times; I used an extraction of another photo to create the fish-rider. I added transfers, overlays, and the artstrokes, then added texture with the brushes. The story came next, and the title. I added the embellishments and finished with a Fotoglow to highlight the biggest fish and a light leak to give a gentle wash of color to the page. The last step was to frame the page with black.
