Castellan Jason Johnson's Lyrical Triptych

In this project, the assignment was to create a lyrical triptych. This lyrical triptych consisted of three panels, each with lines from a song of my choice. First I was to find images that suited the song of my choice, which was ‘Heaven Knows’ by Rise Against. Secondly, after creating the three layers and inputting the images, I was to insert the lyrics of the song into the triptych. Lastly, after inserting the lyrics, I used blending options and varieties to make the lyrical triptych more personalized.
       The song I chose was ‘Heaven Knows’ by Rise Against. The triptych itself consists of three panels, the first with an eagle soaring over a city lighted with neon and with a large group of people gazing upon it The second panel consists of an empty stage, with two ghostly men staring at one another, one of the men is an angel. The third panel consists of the expanse of space, music notes flying from the stars to indicate that they are singing, the third panel also has one of the men from the second panel, smiling.
       The images reflect to the lyrics of the song using symbolism and color schemes. The mood of the song is sad and almost admiring of a lost lover. The colors I found to be most fit for the song were red for love and black for sadness. The white purple and blue in between symbolize the other colors f love, and the blue for sadness. The mosaic effect I used symbolized the way that the writer of the song immortalized the girl he was singing about.
       My experience with photoshop this year was fun. I love photoshop. It lets me express myself in a new way I didn’t really know about until now. My lyrical triptych I think was successful. Like with my last photoshop work I’m proud of it, although I could improve it. I think I could choose a song that I could relate more to in a personal way, to give the triptych project more feeling from my heart / mental feelings.
