My image is shown left. I constructed this in photoshop. First time i had ever created something like this - an image to create meaning. Did it as an experiment to use a different creative tool and whether I could create something more New Media ish than plain text. I used Photoshop to set the layout and construct the form. Have to say it was a joy to use and fairly quickly i created a basic backdrop. The images were from open source Cd's. I chose the door to represent closed thinking and decay. The paper layers add depth to the image and add a feeling of symbols and signs - perhaps as signifiers of hidden feelings. Experimented with the eye dropper tool to remove background colors, then tweaked opacity. Think it works, creating an atmosphere. I'm pleased with this!
