This project was simple but actually a lot of fun. I have been using Photoshop for almost 8 years and have never done anything in Photoshop without using other elements aside from the basic tools. It was almost a challenge to do something so basic. It forced me to be very imaginative. I do think I know Photoshop pretty well but this project really forced me to think outside of the box. I am normally doing projects which involve manipulating photos so this scratch assignment was quite different.
I really didn’t stick to any plan while creating these three images. I just drew whatever came to my mind. I write songs and poetry so I love incorporating lyrics and words into my art. I had a lot of fun hiding secret messages in each of these three images. Each one actually has a very powerful meaning to me. Scratch 1 has the words “is it love” and “indecisive” along with someone’s name hidden in it. The other two drawings are more obvious with their messages.
My favorite image I made is scratch 2. The words have a lot of straight forward meaning about a person I currently know and they also have a metaphorical meaning for how I have been feeling lately. I also love the ivory and black background I drew because it reminds me of a pattern you would see on a designer clothing garment. I am very into fashion and the military style is very “in” right now which was also an inspiration for this drawing.
