My Favorite Lyric

Difficulty= 2 Stars
Have you ever heard and song and a particular lyric stood out to you right away?  I think all of us have had the feeling at least once.  For this assignment use one of those lyrics that stood out to you and make it into a visual.  Use some kind of background that represents the lyric and place the lyrics over it in some way.  Be creative! But make sure that your visual product evokes the same kind feeling that the lyric of the song does.

I used Photoshop to create new layers on the background image to allow me to have the lyrics on the photo itself.  I used the opacity adjustment on the top layers and the eraser tool to somewhat blend it into the background image.  This gives it the old and worn look.

The song “Summertime” by Kenny Chesney was one of the first few country songs I started listening to a long time ago.  It was hard to pick just one verse of lyrics but this is probably the one verse that any fan of Kenny Chesney can sing by heart.  Whenever I think of summer, this song is the soundtrack to all of the memories I’ve made over many summers.  Kenny Chesney has a concert tour every summer and this song is one of the most popular ones he plays during the concert.  Seeing him in concert over the summer itself serves is a huge memory, and just stands to represent what I think of and remember as some of the best summers I’ve ever had.
