 * Cultural Clash**

Describe in a few sentences what your photoshop collage is about? My photoshop collage shows the things that I like which involves western culture and also the original village look which has strong eastern atmosphere. For example, since I like western TV series and movies a lot, I put posters of “Gossip Girls” and “Twilight” on the red brick walls which are regarded as a common material for building houses in the village.
 * Culture Clash **

What does it tell the viewer about the differences in life in Bai Xin Zhuang verses life in Shunyi? Life in Bai Xin Zhuang follows the eastern traditional way of living. The red spring festival couplets are remained on the wall, and I didn’t erase them, because I celebrate spring festival with my parents as well. My cultural background tends to be more eastern than western. However, I do experience western culture; for example, I do watch a lot western TV shows, like “Gossip Girls” and “Twilight”. I put several my favorite western celebrities like Brad Pitt and Justin Bieber into the photo. I changed the original road to red carpet which looks like the Walk of Fame. Moreover, I arranged a table on the photo with many Chinese foods on it. these food are common in the village, while the McDonald logo which represents western culture indicates the difference in life in Bai Xin Zhuang and my life. I use these things almost every day. Therefore, by showing the contrast of western and eastern culture, viewers will see the difference between life in Bai Xin Zhuang and in Shunyi.

What photos did you choose to use and why? I choose photos of western celebrities and eastern traditional foods. Additionally, I also chose the photo of Lee Hom who is the guy with a camera. He is my favorite singer in the world. Putting him with Brad Pitt together on one photo, I aim to demonstrate I am involved in both cultural backgrounds.

What photoshop tools have you found most useful? I found the magic wand tool is the most useful, because it helps to get the specific part of a photo very easily. Adjusting the tolerance assists with the use of magic wand.
