Experimentation

After my first original sketches, I had fun and I quickly learned that experimentation is key to Assignment #3. Therefore I am using various types of textures and Photoshop techniques to create my theme of "What It's Like to Be A Ghost". It protrays various aspects of death. Is death sad, painful, violent, or is it serene and peaceful? The subtle tints of reds green/yellows show this painful and violent side of death. Meanwhile the bright sunrays/clouds, and picture of me laying down represnt the serene and peaceful side of death. The clock in my piece represents the inevitability of death. I focus on using various opacities, cloning and blurring through layers to create my final design.
