The brief for the one day project that was set was to create an image that illustrates nature and technology but also one of 5 words given to us. the words were depth, revolution, encounter, journey and element. I choose to attempt encounter.
To convey the word encounter using the themes of nature and technology I chose two images that epitomise the respective themes, a lion and an overpass at night. The lion signifies nature in a powerful way, being one of the great predators of the natural world. I chose to use the overpass for the aesthetics, the overpowering white conveys a pure, futuristic and modern message. The combination of these images signifies encounter because the lion is encountering the modern, technological world.
I further manipulated the image by adding white swirls that blend into the white floor, and added a green glow that blend it into the background. I also added the shadow and changed the levels on the lion to make it more realistic. Finally I added the text and gave it a shadow that matches the lion's shadow and added some ink splats. I feel that the location of the text helps to draw the eye due to the white space around the image and the contrasting colours.
