Lyrical Collage

When we were first assigned this project, I immediately knew that I wanted to create a collage for my best friend Shawn that passed away in the summer of 2012. The quote that I based my project on is "May Angels Lead You In", a song written by the band Jimmy Eat World. I decided to create a collage taking place in heaven and showing Shawn as an angel. I used an image from google with a staircase in the clouds as the background. I then inserted an open door at the top of the staircase to represent the "door to heaven". For the wings and birds, I downloaded brushes off of the internet and adjusted them levels and color adjustments. I created a rainbow going across the image using a rainbow gradient and then adding a gaussian blur to it. I enjoyed doing this assignment but I still find photoshop to be more difficult to use than illustrator.
