First attempt at altering the icon image
I messed around with Photoshop for hours and learned a lot about selections and blending modes. Came up with this image after a while trying to make something I was happy with.
Cyclical Nature of Things
It took me a while to come up with a concept that strayed away from what I consider cliché, like life and death, and I came up with a couple of ideas to start off with. My first composition displays the inevitable loss of childhood we all experience as we age. My concept is that our childhood memories eventually start to dissolve and we can't remember exactly everything as it was when we viewed the world through young eyes. My second picture is considerably more lighthearted. The composition shows a bridge branching out into the sky that signifies infinite opportunities that life gives us. In the sky is an antique light fixture with plants and a mini sculpture of a woman inside it that I found in my great grandfather's house years ago. I thought it looked cool in the sky and I feel that it can represent new beginnings since that object has not been admired in so long yet I am admiring it now. I am still working on this one so I might tweak some things before I call it finishe
Molly,
ReplyDeleteI love your creation of Audrey Hepburn! I almost chose her too, she is definitely an icon. I think pairing here with flowers was a really unique idea and fitting of her personality. I'd love to see different color combinations, maybe! Keep up the good work!!
Hey Molly,
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I love the photo you chose, so iconic and beautiful. This iteration is interesting with the flower pattern, I especially like the muted flowers in the dress as well as the fact that the pattern is absent from her skin.
