It was actually really hard to think of what I wanted to make for my lyrical collage. At first, I thought it would be cute to do something with a beach. After pondering the idea, I felt a beach was too cliche. I like to go for a more realistic style rather than fantasy so I started searching through pictures on my phone to see what I could put together. The first three images are pictures I found on my phone, while the last two are images I found on google.
I first collaborated the three images by transforming them in many different ways: distorting, warping, skewing, etc. After I constructed a scene I added touches like the shadow on my body and the shadow by the wall on the left. I then decided that it would be a good idea to pick a lyric. I have a slight obsession with quotes and poems so this also gave me a lot of trouble. When doing most of my projects I like to relate them to my beliefs, or important things within my life. I wanted a quote that would relate to my life right now, at this moment. I decided to go with a line from a poem written by the famous author, Robert M. Drake. "There was a science to her genius, her madness, her beauty and there was nothing she could not accomplish." I really felt a connection with the quote and the second after I read it I knew it had to be the one. I cropped and distorted the two google images above to fit my project and placed them where I thought they would look nice. I lowered the opacity on a lot of my images because I felt it made them look more realistic. Finally I added the quote on the railing and distorted/warped it to make it fit in better. Overall, I'm VERY happy with my project. I feel it really shows my appreciation for where I'm at in my life and where I intend on going! :)
