#1.
- Find 6 images of New York City.
- Change the colors to the order of the colors of the rainbow and make them very bright and colorful
- Put Where Dreams Are Made Of on the last 5 images. Control C the 1st image onto the 2nd, the 3rd onto the 4th etc.
- Choose Save for Web and make sure GIF ANIMATION is checked. Make each slide 1 second apart. From there preview to make sure it's not too fast or too slow. When you are satisfied with the final product the GIF animation is complete.

- Find a star/galaxy image that you like and mess with the hue/saturation/vibrance. I made mine as bright as possible so the final image would be very colorful.
- Quick select the Egyptian pyramid and change the hue/saturation. Once you move them to star image change the size and rotate them whichever way you desire.
- Quick select an image of a cloud, change it whatever color you want and place it by the green pyramid. From there you can add the little heart to the top of the cloud by quick selecting it and placing it on the top left corner of the pink cloud.
- Quick select the elephants and change the colors of them. Once they're on the star image change the size and rotation. Make sure they're under the cloud because it's supposed to be 'raining elephants'. Make the ones who are first falling from the cloud smaller and as they get closer to the ground gradually make them a little bit bigger. Once they're about to hit the ground change them to their normal gray color and rotate them so they're standing up normally.
- Quick select the mermaid and change her colors. I knew I was going to put her on the blue pyramid which is a cold color so I purposefully chose the bright pink which is a warm color. Position her onto the pyramid so that it appears she's resting or laying on it.
- Add the words "everything is not what it seems". The font I chose causes the words to get a little lost with everything else going on so a larger, bold font is wise. Keep the words white.
- Quick select a rainbow and make it more vibrant. Position it onto the star image so it touches both sides of the image. Blend it by using either soft light or overlay. It will make the heart transparent which I did unintentionally but I still thought it was a cool effect.
- Add the skull head to the green pyramid and blend it. Hard mix is the best blending choice for this.
- Add the American Flag to the red pyramid. Position it so that it looks like it's hanging from the pyramid. Make it a little bit more vibrant and choose the filter 'Fragment'
- Change the rattle snake to a bright green and position/rotate it on the rainbow so that it looks like it's about to attack the mermaid resting on the blue pyramid.
- Add a little noise and blur/or fragment to the image as a whole. Don't too much or else it just becomes sore on the eyes. From here the "Complexity" image it finished.
