Based on Emma Cate Neves’ 5-star visual assignment prompt, “Earth,” here’s an image I’ve created using Adobe Photoshop. The number of letters in the words I chose ended up creating a lot more work, since it meant more blades of grass needed to be exposed through the mask, but I think that’s fair for a 5-star prompt. I chose the phrase “Touch Grass” because not only is it a joke among my friends, but it also makes perfect sense for the grass-related task at hand.
It can be a bit difficult to apply photography skills to art, but I did my best to implement the things I learned earlier this week. For example, I made sure the details were balanced. The ladybug and the dragonfly are evenly placed across the image, and as are the letters themselves. I also did my best to create a contrast between the lighter background and the darker, grassy letters. Overall, I think this visual assignment came out great, and putting it together was really fun!
