Process: I didn't have too much of a process, as the first thing that I had thought of in the context of mixing multiple pop culture icons was somehow mixing two people with over the top personalities, like Trump and Cena. I also noted that the two figures are related in that Trump is a big fan of World Wrestling Entertainment(WWE) and WWE owner Vince McMahon, and Cena is a five-time WWE champion. I did research into the various exploits of both Trump and Cena as well as how they are viewed by the public. I had Photoshop-related troubles several times, mostly regarding management of layers. I also had to decide which filter I would use. I chose “Poster Edges”, because I thought that it did a good job of capturing the style in which Bansky and the other artists worked, as well as of covering up for my inadequacies in Photoshop.
Product: I created a picture of Trump's face on Cena's body doing his trademark “You Can't See Me” pose, while wearing his own hat and sweatbands. I used Photoshop to cut Trumps face and then paste onto Cena's body and separate the various elements of the picture into layers for easy management. I then arranged the various elements to look believable. I then attempted to touch up the picture using color balance, to compensate for the differences in skin tone and lighting between the two precursor images.
