We were given two pictures of Banda Aceh, Sumatra. One was dated June 23 2004 and the other December 28 2004. Our task was to align both pictures in Photoshop and label appropriately so as convey or highlight the differences between them. The picture from December 2004 shows the devastation created by a tsunami that hit this area December 26 2004. The tsunami was the result of an earthquake of magnitude 9.1-9.3 that struck the Indian Ocean just off the coast of Sumatra, Indonesia. The creation of these two maps started by aligning the December picture to the June picture in Photoshop. Linework and text were then added on different layers. The final pictures were then cropped and reduced in size.
