Lyrical Triptych Reflection

            In our second project assignment for our class we had to create a 'Lyrical Triptych'. We had to choose a songs' lyrics and choose 3 lines that we wanted to show through pictures.  Our Lyrical Triptych had to contain three 5in x 7in panels. Each panel had to contain atleast 3 different pictures combined. We had to use a filter in atleast one of our panels. Also, we had to use Adjustments ---> Variations atleast once.     First, I choose a song that made me visualize a lot when I hear it. Second, I set up my triptychs - making sure i had (3) 5in x 7in panels with a resolution of 300. Next , I overlooked the phrases of my lyrics and googled images that came to mind. Then, i choose images that looked good when they were combined. Then I  re-sized the images to make them the right dimensions. Finally, I combined my images together in each panel and made them look pretty. Also, I had to make sure I had all the requirements that were needed.

          The song I chose is called 'Found' By HillSong United. Yes, it's a Christian song. I enjoy to listen to it. It helps me clear up my mind. The words make me think about things around me.  My triptych has a lot of images on top of eachother. It looks very peaceful. It's also very religious. I used opacity a lot too. I used the same font in every panel. I just changed the color of it. The words are also the same size. I used filter in the last triptych in the little girl thats praying. I made her stand out more. I used adjustments by making the background in the last tryptych look more green-ish yellow-ish so it can also stand out more.

         I created images that would reflect to the lyrics by simply thinking about what the lyrics made me think of. I used images that would make me think of peace, loneliness, and love. My pictures were mostly about praising God. The song was about God so I wanted to get that point through. My pictures were all very religious except for the backgrounds.

         My experience with Adobe Photoshop this year has been very exciting. Little by little im learning how to get used to all the tools. I'm better than what I was in our last project. I like it because we can make a simply picture to a whole different picture. We can resize a image, change the color, add writting, change the opacity, cut things out of a picture , and many more things. At first I thought it was a very difficult program , but once you get used to it , its pretty easy. Im becoming alittle bit more creative then what I first was. I think I was more sucessful in the Lyrical Triptych then the Magazine Cover. In this assigment I was more creative and made it look more realistic. I think I was sucessful because I used every tool that I had to use in order to receive a good grade.If I were to do this assignment again I would change the background a little so it could look better when I printed it out.
