Lyrical Collage- "I'm Coming Home..."

Through the process of making my Lyrical Collage i worked a lot with masks and the eraser tool to crop out the pictures. The edges of the image would sometimes be too precise so i would lower the hardness of the brush to smoothen the edges and to make the pictures mesh better with the background. I played with the layers to position each image towards the front or back and make some look closer then others. I also used the opacity tool to soften the brightness of the picture and make it mesh with the images in the back so everything would look more cohesive. I had a hard time adjusting the color of the images so they wouldn't contrast with each other so much but my tools were giving me a hard time and my image adjustments weren't working so well. Overall i think the outcome was good. I aimed at making it look aesthetically pleasing.


My Lyrical Collage is based off the song, Coming Home by Diddy. The images represent everything i have back home, family, friends, lifestyle. The pictures are set at the end of a straight road with a dark, cloudy sky and a women (me) walking towards the scene. It shows that after walking down a road of chaos, stress and sadness, i'm directing myself towards home and the place where i belong.
