In Class - Appropriation/Photo Montage

My group's subject: Bathtub.

We did a simple brainstorm and came up with some of these interesting ideas:
- The bathtub as a luxurious item
- Bathtub as evil because it wastes water (therefore the idea was to superimpose a classy image of a bathtub against a barren wasteland)
- Bathtub as just simply evil


So to bring our ideas to 'reality', we headed to 'build' them in Photoshop:


The bathtub is seen as an oasis amidst the dessert. Gives an aura of comfort (hence the glowing effects and the nice beach view).
