Collect images of both the art style and album covers, posters images, etc., that might might inspire how to convey your message.

The film, titled Destino, tells the tragic love story of Chronos, the personification of time, who falls in love with a mortal woman as the two float across the surrealist landscapes of Dalí's paintings. The poetic, wordless animation features a score by Mexican composer Armando Dominguez performed by Dora Luz. As fascinating as the film itself is the juxtaposition of the two creative geniuses behind it, each bringing his own life-lens to the project -- Dalí described the film as "a magical display of the problem of life in the labyrinth of time" and Disney called it "a simple story about a young girl in search of true love."
