Basics to Creating Your Own Conspiracy Art in Photoshop
Are you curious as to how you can make your own
conspiracy-based image using Photoshop? The basic process is actually not as
hard as one would think. Whether you are creating your own work of hypothetical
art or want to show the world something "real", Photoshop can make it
happen.
1. Images - The first thing you will need are the images you plan on combining. For this example, we are going to create a Titanic on the Moon. We'll need an image of the Moon from a landscape perspective and an image of the Titanic that looks to be sitting on a landscape. Google Images is a great place to get both.
2. Selection - First, we'll take our selection of the Titanic from our image using either the Magic Wand tool, or hand select it using the Quick Mask Tool. We'll want to select some of the ocean floor where the Titanic hit to give it that impact look. This will allow us to move the Titanic from its original image to our widescreen shot of the Moon.
3. Erase - After we move our Titanic over to the Moon using the Move Tool, we'll take our eraser and eliminate any part of the Titanic image that doesn't exactly fit. Make sure the Titanic's layer is selected before you start erasing, however. Since the bottom of the ocean has similar texture to the moon, we can keep quite a bit of the silt.
4. Colorize - Since our Titanic image is blue and our Moon image is gray, we are going to select "Image", then "Mode", and then change it to "Grayscale". Once Photoshop asks us to "flatten the image", we click the Flatten button. This will combine all the layers in the image while turning all of it to Grayscale - which gives the Titanic an eerily perfect look to the moon.
5. The Blend - By using the Healing Brush Tool, we select a part of the Moon's surface by pressing the "Alt" key while clicking the left mouse button. This will now allow us to click on the Titanic image's ocean flooring and essentially "heal" the image to blend it together. Carefully follow the edges of the ocean floor in the Titanic image to blend it to the moon. Change the brush size in Photoshop can help you get a more fine-tuned point to the blending if you desire.
6. Finishing - Once the blend is complete of our Titanic to the Moon's surface, let's add a finishing touch of a fake time-stamp in the lower left-hand corner. Since this is a conspiracy image, let's make it "12/09/1969 14:33" by using the Horizontal Type Tool. Once you select this tool, you can type into any location of the image. We'll use a Times New Roman font to make it seem more legitimate.

Fine tuning your skills will help make your images look amazingly real. With the power of Photoshop, you'll want to be careful as to how far you want to take your creations. In the wrong context, you could be ostracized from communities. However, your talents could land you a job altering photographs for popular magazines and websites.
