  Lyrical triptych reflection

10/21/10

For the lyrical triptych assignment i needed to pick a song and create three digital collage that express the songs meaning and emotion. First pictures were collected from gettyimages.com and saved to my computer. Then I opened Photoshop and the pictures that I saved and want to use for my project. Then I cut and paste parts of pictures that would be used on the triptych. Each triptych was 5x7 and was made one at a time. Then different affects where used to make all the pictures work together.

The song I used was bulletproof love by pierce the veil. The first triptych is a picture of a sunset of a lake. A boy is walking towards the bench in the cold night and there is a picture of a girl in the sky.  My second triptych is a picture of a night sky and a couple hugging each other. My third triptych is a picture in the woods of two people holding hands and there hands are on fire. I used the magic wand, the eraser, type tool, blending options filters and variations to create the triptychs.  I used a filter on the second triptych to make the sky look like a painting.

I expressed the mood of the song by using dark colors and making you understand the narrators feeling in the lyrics. I think the all the triptychs are good at representing that well. The pictures also go very will with the lyrics to the song.

Using adobe Photoshop for the first time this year and this being the second project I used with it I think my skills are becoming strong. I’m starting to feel more confident in using Photoshop. I think Photoshop is really cool in the way u can change a picture in millions of ways and I think I was very successful in making my lyrical triptych. I used a filter, variations, and I used three images or more in each panel like I was suppose to.  I wouldn’t want to change any thing about my project I think I did very well and I’m happy with the out come.
