The Wind Shall Carry Us

Wouldn’t you want to find a magical bird person and go on an adventure with them? Just flying around the world with the wind beneath you wings with no care in  the world seems like a great  idea, especially if you are a stressed out college student. Heck, it doesn’t even have to be with a magical bird person. You can just travel around with the person or people that you love the most to help you forget about everything stressing you out and to go with the flow of the wind until it was time to let go again.

This one and a half star assignment required me to take some song lyrics of a top 100 song and add them to an image from The Big Picture. I decided to take the lyrics from the song, Lean On, by Major Lazer and DJ Snake and add them to an image of a kid looking at a person with penguin mask on. I figured the lyrics would work well with image and could create a story about just going with the wind and flying around.(Even though penguins can’t fly)

I once again used GIMP to create this assignment and it didn’t take that many steps to create the image you see above. I created a Text box and began to type the lyrics in. I then highlighted the text and right-clicked to select Path from Text.instructions

The last step is to then go under Edit and select Stroke Path to change/add a border to the letters. That is the white border that you see around each word.
