Final

The final for the poster.

The 2 images I used to explain the passage from the song. A family and friends with laughter and happiness. I put the 2 images onto the 2 sides of the wings. A very simple way i did is just move the images onto the wings and add feather effects to smoothen the edges, and then i alter the size to fit in the wings and used the eraser tool to erase any exceeding part out of the wings. And then I lowered the opacity to make it blur and fading.

A passage from the song explains a pair of wings disappearing. So i've used a wings of an angel and put it at the back of the women as if she wants to fly away. I used the Magic wand tool to cut out the wings from a black background. To give it's effect of a blurry and disappearing wings, i used the feather tool to smoothen the edges. After that i used the burn tool to darken some edges to give a special effects, and then i lowered down the opacity to make it as if its seen through.

The subject that i used. A back body view of a women with a sad face. Ive took out the colors as i didnt want any colors that shows happiness and life. Everything is supposed to be sad. I've added portion of body below her hips with the stamp tool.

The main idea from the passage, the "Cloud" which is "Awan". A sad sight to see a dark cloud. As if it is going to rain. Depicting tears where the sky is crying. Ive put some grainy effects on it and make the color darker. The effects came out just like a picture from a very old photo.

Background

Sketch

This is the sketch of my poster.

The song chosen

The song ive chosen is a malay song sang by Ning Baizura, "Awan yang terpilu". The song tells about the journey of her as a singer. How she struggled through family, instinct and fame. A very touching song and her music video can bring tears to you. when i hear this song, i think of my family and why am i here in this world. What have i done i this world that serves a purpose and have a done enough to fulfill my parents wishes ? All of these constantly playing in my mind and yet i cant find the right answers, is like drifting on an open sea looking at the moving clouds. No where to go, but the only images i can see are from the cloud above. That's what the song brings to me.
