this image evokes sadness and feeling of loss; as I was sitting down to create an image with type, I received a phone call from a friend telling me his best friend just passed away.
I wanted to create something that will represent the emotion and the emptiness , the things that were never said and the things that were said but never heard.
I picked this room as my background image because it seems to tell a story, traces of people that have been here are scattered all over . I have adjusted the image contrast to give a more dramatic affect.
I have added the letter against the wall and blended it in via blending options / color burn and added the texture above , using a clipping mask . with a history brash took some of the texture out to create a more refined realistic looking wall.
this little girl is a known character , Samara from
the Ring . I selected her out using the quick selection tool , and added her to the image blending her in using blending options/ color burn. I than used a second copy of with low opacity to really capture the ghost image .
to give the bottom of the image more depth I used the green water texture on 75% opacity .
to finish I created a frame using brush strokes , and lines from a rap song by Notorious BIG called
Suicide .
