Image Manipulation

This was the product of a class assignment. We were given the task to select any three images that we wanted and add text to it. We used the acorn, wooden beam and forest trees. The acorn was placed on top of the wooden beam and shadows were added to give it the effect of the acorn resting on the beam. We placed the forest trees image within the acorn and changed the color as well changed its proportions to fit within the acorn. Last we added the text "Mighty oaks from little acorns grow" from A. B. Johnson's The Philosophical Emperor a Political Experiment, 1841. The font was manipulated so it looked engraved into the wooden beam by a young child.
