When we were told we could use quotes for this assignment the first thing I thought of was this raven photo I had taken a few years before and the words "quoth the raven" from Edgar Allan Poe's poem "The Raven." So I reread the poem and when I came to the part that mentions the bust of Pallas I decided to add that element. I also had a picture of the moon and a bare tree that helped to set the mood. I downloaded a suitably eerie font from
www.fontspace.com to use for the quote. Due to the fact that both the bust and the raven images were taken during the day I used the burn tool to darken those elements. The moon was also not in the proper place as the source of illumination so I moved it and made it a bit larger.
I got the image for the bust of Athena Pallas from

Where did you get the image of the Raven?
ReplyDeleteI took the photo of the raven myself at Big Basin State park in California. Though I did adjust the photo to make it fit with the rest of the image.
