The word i had chosen was Life, the synonym was energy that i had picked with this picture i was really wanting the color to stand out and the brightness of it as well. As my background i had chose a picture of boiling water from texturevault a website given to us. The things i added was a basketball goal because to me i have energy playing basketball so i felt that it went along with meaning of the word. I also added a picture of my arms looking to show that im dunking the basketball, i put emphasis on the basketball and had flames comeing from it to show that all the energy that i used was exerted into the basketball. for the word energy i used a weird font to kind of give it a catch didnt want soemthing that was to normal and plain. i gave it the red color to go along with the background and as for the background of the word i had chose a picture of broken glass and with the color gredient i messed around with the color to have it stand out. With the smudgeing tool and using a soft brush i fanned out the edges of the glass into the boiling water to make it blend in more.
My antonym that i chose was death with this picture i literally wanted to empahsis what the word actually means so i had taken a picture of a cemetary and added that to the bottom of the picture. As for my background i went to texturevault and found a stormy clouds as making it more of a gloomy setting. i added a mauseloum to the picture and using the eraser with a soft touch i added a fog affect to make it look more creepy. I added the tree to go along with the mauseloum as if the setting was fit altogether in a cemetary like in a movie. i added the skull and had that faded into the clouds. To finish off with everything to me i added bobwire to give the effect of dangerous creepy picture.
The first picture REALLY sends the message of energy. I like all the colors used its very electric. Also this picture improved on making the backboard stand out more instead of it just being black. It looks like you toned down all the colors in the entire picture which looks nice. I believe your second picture really does signify death. It is in black and white very gloomy. Just another suggestion to add would be dying flowers?? I like flowers so that is the only reason I'm saying that..plus at visitation there are always flowers in rememberence.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if you purposefully added the repetition of the X's in the death picture with the scull and cross-bones and the barbed wire fence, but it is very thought provoking.
