So here are some sketches that I had in mind...

1. Barbell + Oreo = Orabell

2. Ear + Froot Loops = Earloops

3. PufferFish + Durian = Furian.

4. Porcupine + Acupuncture Needles

Figure. 9 

After asking Mr. Martin for some feedback, he said that the first idea (Oreo and Barbell) has been tried before but the outcome isn't really interesting. Moving on to the second idea I had, the earloops.. it doesn't really tell much about photo manipulation so also not great for the final result.. Third and fourth idea was good but Mr. Martin's afraid that it'll be to complicated for me to proceed since at least one photo must be taken by ourselves, on the other hand the editing process itself isn't easy. 

So I ended up coming up with the final idea which is.. M&M Chocolate with Billiard Ball..

And this is how it turned out.

REFLECTION

Project 2 was definitely the time where I need to explore on many ideas in order to get the best result for the final shot. At first I searched on Pinterest and YouTube for some references about photo manipulation. I also come up with many ideas but then after having some consultation with Mr. Martin, most of the ideas I had was done before by students and the results ain't that interesting. I remember at some point I gave up on this task because I felt so stuck, in spite of that I decided to take a break and have fun with my friends, and who knows out of nowhere the idea struck into my mind. Lesson that I learnt throughout this project is that whenever we're tired or stressed, its important to take a step back and view things from the bigger picture and to always be mindfull.
