JUXTAPOSITION exercise

The emotion i wanted to portray with this montage is relief and rejuvenation. I know most people in this fast-paced hectic life and couldn't wish for anything better but to set time aside for recuperation and with that i wanted to set the scene that soothes the mind. The ambient is relatively crucial in order to bring out the feeling of rejuvenation.
The images used to represent this emotion are pretty pink roses and some lighting of flakes of coloured materials. The rose is the main focus so i placed the lighting in the background. In order to create the ambiance, the background is zoomed in so that not too much details can be seen.The image shows a bunch of roses then to focus on only a few roses, i cropped the image and placed it towards the upper left.Then i merge both images so that there is a sense of oneness and added some effects and filters to create a smooth flowy image.
The choice of font was also something crucial to accentuate the emotions.The font chosen is simple thus there is clarity and also to balance with the much detailed image.The font colour used were white and deep purple to blend in with the background but yet stand out enough to be read.
The overall look somehow gives viewers a comfortable feeling where they can somehow forget their worries for that moment and maybe to stop and give their eyes something to feast on. Please do give me feedback via comments on this work. It would be much appreciated. :)Labels: DESFUN wk 06
