Using photographs I took I told a story in the form of a photoshopped collage. Separating the images into the foreground and background it added layers. I made the background a photograph of a sunset over hills to add texture and different scenery than what’s expected. Also, to add different mediums I collaged the water coloring painting of the hand and the colored pencil drawing of the apple. The story is being told in my point of view from a few parties and art shows I’ve attended and photographed. The centerpiece is of a girl named Apple which is why I put the apple drawing on top of her head. The painting of the hand is flicking the apple off her head.
The final piece has a few added affects I added like doubling some of the people with an gradient. I wanted it to have an added atmosphere of those movements of the people. Also, the people in the background go farther back to show it’s a space in my mind. This is a party scene abstracted by the background which is an outdoor scene.
I then decided to re-edit the final collage to add different affects and colors.
I made the main focus black and white to make it catch the eye at first glance. I wanted to make it so her eyes drip off in a technicolor look making your eyes follow to the other people and the background. I changed the colors on the sky too to make it more trippy and less realistic.
