77: A surrealist poster

So last night I opened photoshop to start my surrealist poster for class... I had a few small ideas and thought ok this wont take too long. I also had a blog to write for work. However, I sat there for hours and hours making small little changes to my poster, and still did not have much to show for it. I started a few tutorials, and halfway through I decided that I didn't like it and so I hid those layers and started over. Finally it was 1230 and I still had nothing but a background and a few swooshes of the paintbrush on my page. I decided I had a creative block and went to bed. The next morning I woke up to the sound of my room mates alarm clock. SIGH... I had overslept about 40 minutes, and was late for class. In stead of jumping out of bed and freaking out, I decided hey I am already late might as well not stress myself out by rushing. So i got ready and went to class and started working on my poster yet again. I stared at the digital canvas and still no creative juices flowed. The well was dry. Later in the day I decided to just throw some random things into my file, and so I put the singer's head in a lamp fixture. This got me a little more on track, and so i started adding a few more odd mismatched things. Finally at the VERY end of the day this is what it turned out to be. For not having much creativity today, I think I produced something good.

Becca,
I think it's very good. Sometimes we do work better under pressure. I feel myself like that, when you have to much time, it's hard to come with something, but not always :D Great poster.
