Pull Yourself Together
Client: School Project
Pull Yourself Together is a collage piece I made in my Illustration class in March of 2021. This is a collage images made strictly in Photoshop using photos I had taken around my campus. I had taken a photo of some of the mulch outside one of the buildings on my university’s campus and collaged the image with an altered photo of me from my schools yearbook and photos of Polaroids I had written on and photographed.
Reflection on the Piece: This project was created during my second semester at Murray State University. At the time I had very little experience with any of the Adobe Suites programs. To this day I still believe that this is an effective piece. There is a grungy aesthetic to the image with filters and messing with color balance and exposure. The images layered well together and the image for the torn year book photo gives the effect of being a single photograph with the mulch and flower petals.
