Photomontage Final :: Music Is Life

Overall this project was a great learning experience and introduction into layering multiple images and objects.  I look forward to continuing to get faster and learning my way around Photoshop CS6.

My final image for the photomontage Music Is Life attempts to show a connection between music and nature.  Music is special because it inspires all aspects of our lives.  I love electronic music and enjoying mother nature, so that's what inspired this project.

In my photomontage I took multiple images and combined them into one.  My go to tool was the lasso, which was a little time consuming but not bad once I got the hang of it.  Instead of using people for the crowd I used fish jumping out of the water as if they were partying to the DJ's music.

Looking forward to seeing everyone's projects and for some feedback on the art!

Photomontage :: Music Is Life

In this sketch exercise to design a promotional photomontage for a fictitious artist or band, I developed a few different ideas. 

I like the idea of focusing on the artist with the audience/scenery in the backdrop and will develop the message in the next design stage to come.  

The idea I have is to focus more on the music/genre and its effect on people/nature, rather than the actual artist, as I believe music revolves around life. Ideally the title for my design will be "Music Is Life."

I'm looking to add a few layers of scenery into the backdrop to enhance my ideas.

Being new to the actual design stages of generating ideas into images, I look forward to seeing how this develops.

I am also looking forward to feedback as well as viewing 
everyone else's work!
