So for this project, I thought it would be cute to make a Kiwi living in a Kiwi house. I chose a green door and a green garage because it was the only color that made sense (besides the blue shutters). The story behind the garage is this: I found a picture of the perfect kiwi, but there was another kiwi covering it and I wasn't sure how I was going to get rid of it so I simply just made that part of the house. I thought it was a pretty clever idea(:. The difficult thing with this was that the beach picture that I wanted had a palm tree with a shadow so what I had to do was make a selection out of the actual shadow in the sand and copy/paste it into a different layer so I could warp and mold it on top of the kiwi house. The other difficult thing was making the shadow look legitimate. The garage/baby kiwi obviously looks like it's in front of the house so I had to make another layer of the shadow and move it slightly down. Then I made a few more layers and had that shadow darker inside the door. Overall, this project took me a while. I probably could have made it better if I took more time but I felt like a week and a half was enough for me.
