1. I put myself in the center of the image because all my activities are parts of my life.
2. I used to smart object flowers in the bottom corners because I thought they looked nice 3. I changed the opacity of the smart objects 4. I used the gradient tool behind the engine picture and to fade of the hammock picture with a layer mask 5. I included a quote by Bernard shaw that I find very inspirational 6. I used color, space, and texture. Each image has a rough outline/edge and the objects are spaced to make each one visible. 7. I used emphasis by placing Mt diablo in the middle and balance by having the same number of images on the top and bottom. 8. Over covid, I fell in love with mountain biking and hav been on the SRV MTB team ever since. Mountain biking is large part of my life today and so I decided to put on my collage. Similarly, I have been playing chess nearly my entire life., ever since the age of 6. Although I am not the strongest chess player, I still love to play, even if I don't always win. The engine represents my love for engineering and working with my hands. I'm always trying to tinker with old stuff and really enjoy the trial and error of making something true. The math represents my love for the sciences and learning. I genuinely enjoy going to school and taking hard class, or in other words, I'm a massive nerd. I really love the outdoors and spend a lot of time hiking, camping, and backpacking so I decided to put both the background and centerpiece a pictures of my favorite places. I have fond memories of exploring coastal redwood forests in Santa cruz so i made it my background, where Mt diablo is somewhere I spend a significant amount of time currently. This ties into the hammock because sometimes I'll laze around outside if I can't think of anything to do. Note: I do not have 4 layer masks but I have an excess amount of clipping masks instead |
