Sustained Investigation Five

For this project, I worked on writing a quick poem about highschool and then from there I was wondering if there is a way I could give it even more meaning. I felt that if I created a collage of the main words from the poem I could transform it into a really interesting feature of work. From there I took a picture of my face and then brought all elements into Photoshop. Which I then I blended and layered so that it looked like a larger amount of text and added to the depth of the piece.

The way I created this was mainly through Photoshop and then just using preview it crop the image in its final stages. However, before that I worked on layering the text and developing my word tree so that I had a layout that I thought would fit well with the image and allowed for a greater level of perspective and detail to the image.

I feel that this work came out really strong since I was able to develop both a narrative and strong composition with both the text and image itself.
