This assignment is called “The Big Hip Hop,” this is Design Assignment 12 worth 2 stars. These are the instructions: “Take any photo from The Big Picture and overlay it with lyrics from a Top 100 song. Similar to The Big Caption project. “

I chose this photo of South Korea getting hit by a typhoon because as soon as I saw it I thought of the song “Storm Warning” by Hunter Hayes. In his song, the “storm” is actually a girl, but it still works!

This is the chorus:

She’s a beautiful mess
The kind you love to love
But what happens next
I got a feeling when the sun comes up
I’m gonna wish I had a storm warning
I’m gonna wish I had a sign
I’m gonna wish I had a little heads up
Little lee-way, little more time
Some kind of radar system
Locked in on love
I got a feeling by the time the night finds the morning
I’m gonna wish I had a storm warning
I’m gonna wish I had a storm warning

I used paint to create this photo. At first I just had all the lyrics typed in regular formation, but I hated it. Then I decided to try to make the words “storm warning” look like they were flying in the debris, but that looked stupid and you couldn’t tell what it even said. So finally I tried to break it up some just making “storm warning” different. I like this design much more! It is so much less boring. I do wish I could have made it look like it was flying in the debris though.
