Here are some pictures that i have designed myself on Photoshop on my spare time.



I don't think the Camaros can really be in action without wheels! lol


The trick to this type of composite is lighting and shadows. It's tough to get right when you're getting started, but without it, it looks like you cut the images out and placed them on to another image. You'll also need to learn to get your edges a bit less sharp.

Learn to outline with the pen tool, then create a quick mask that you can feather out with an appropriate sized brush. You'll get softer, more realistic looking edges. You can then use the quick mask around the edges to create light and shadows in the appropriate direction.

I used to retouch for a living, and when you're doing press work (especially large format printing), every flaw shows. Screen work isn't as demanding, but light direction will always give you away.

The pictures i got were from a website that has the pictures already cut out. So i didnt cut nothing either.

Even if you didn't do the cutting, manually softening the edges in the right direction can make a big difference. For instance the light in the last picture is near the back of the room, therefore anything in front of the light will be darker if you're looking directly at it. The dogs were lit from the front, and so it makes them look cut out. If you soften the edges in the direction that the light is coming from, and darken the dogs, it will look much more believable.

Alternatively, you could argue that there are lights to the sides of the camera, but then the room would need to be lightened to reflect a new light source.

In my opinion these shots lack subject matter.
Make the wiz an album cover.
Rihanna too
Make he camaro an Ad.
That way you have something to compare it to.

Essentially it's a good start.
But the wiz picture, the lighting gives it away.
The camaro are things placed on top of each other. Layered. But obvious
Also the composition is too centered on the first 2
Look at ads from a magazine. Steal.

Good artists borrow from someone,
The best artists steal from everyone.

Also never use lens flare!
