Extracting Interpretation, Project Proposal

For my final project I plan on doing a series of images that combine photo-shop edited images with traditional materials. I'd like to show the developement of a character much like Tsung Tsai in the book "Bones of the Master". I'd like to utilize my new knowlege of photo shop in this project. I've aslo recently become interested in paper cut outs and would like to experiment and possibly incorporate them into the images. The images will be in a series of 3 and will be in chronological order. I'd like for them to be rather small, maybe 5x7" or so. I think that by keeping them smaller the details will be more precise and the images will feel more personal. I plan on having the character be cut out of the paper, and the back ground be the photoshop images. For source material I plan on using the Internet and scanned pictures from books.
