For my poem illustration, I used lyrics from the song Piano Man by Billy Joel. I choose this song because I have kind of grown up loving this song. When I was younger I was extremely close to my grandfather and this song was his favorite song. He taught me how to golf, which is now one of my favorite games to play. I spent a lot of time with him, and he was one of my biggest role models when I was growing up. So whenever I here this song I think about the times spending with him when I was a child.
This is the original photograph that I used. I had my friend Liz Caspari take it in the dance studio on campus, because I really wanted to participate in the actual photograph. My friend Emmy dressed up in a flapper costume for the photograph and I wore a black vest, and white button up. I choose these outfits for my photograph because I wanted it to look like it took place in the older days when people would go to a tavern to listen to a piano player, and they would always have pretty ladies listening to their music.
The next step was I changed the photos brightness and contrast.
After that I changed the photo's colors by using the filter that says warming filter. I think this really gave the whole photograph a old looking picture look.
Next I had to get ride of that exercising ball because it really didn't go with the picture. To do this I used the Liquefy tool, and just dragged the heater and wall down to cover it.
Then I needed to start adding stuff to the walls so they didn't look so boring. The first photograph I added to the wall was a picture I took of my hand playing the piano, and I changed it to multiply so it looked like it belonged on the wall.
So I had to do something to the other wall as well. Therefore I added just an old looking photo I found on Google to just add more decoration and I did the same thing as the other photo on the wall. Although this one was a little bit harder to get to fit in the cork board spot, because I had to cut off angles.
The next step was I needed to add a wine glass, just to add more character to the photograph. I got the wine glass off of Google, and then I used the darken and multiply tool to get it to be that red color.
Here is my final masterpiece. I really think it turned out well, and I'm very happy with the outcome. I
think I really captured the old look I was going for. This was also a really fun photograph to capture and edit. If you have any comments or something you would like to say please post below.
