Home stretch! I’m on to my last design assignment for the week. An assignment that stood was the “Guess The Song.” There was a picture of a girl with a straw drinking a watermelon. I later realized that the song was by Beyonce. Point being, i chose this assignment and i’m now going to take you through the thinking process and execution.

Process

I’ll be honest, i wasn’t in the mood for taking pictures of myself and having to create a song from it. And it is here that i thank Halloween for existing. I was at Target earlier and my friend and i decided to try on costumes and take pictures. Me being myself, i put on the banana suit. It was destiny. The problem for me was, what song involves bananas, yet alone a popular song? I would tell you the song but that would make this no fun so you’re going to have to figure it out yourself!

Cut&Crop

For this song i needed to include: Peanut Butter, Jelly, Baseball bat, and Time. I googled these images and cut them out in GIMP. What i did next was open the picture of Banana Carmela and individually added each item as a separate layer. This wasn’t too bad. I made a couple of mistakes though. After uploading it to Flickr, i realized i forgot the clock. Not to complain but i had to delete it, open it in GIMP, export it, and reupload. That was just annoying. But my photo ended coming out great. I giggle every time i open it. I also had no shame and posted the picture on my Facebook. I hope you have as much fun guessing the song as i did in creating it!

Just as a reference, the before picture was just me in the suit. Enlarged groceries and other items were not present.
