So, the first that I did was decided on what I wanted to use the piece for. I thought about
it, and decided that I would use it as a sort of introductory image formy Unit Plan on Adrienne
Rich, and that it would serve as an “In Memory” piece.
After that, I located the image/s I wished to use. At first I selected a few, but when I had
finished the first time, it felt cluttered, and I wasn’t happy with the final product. The second
time around, I chose to use only an image of Adrienne Rich, and to impose her poetry on her
silhouette.
Next, I looked for a tutorial on Lynda on doing this (I have history with photoshop, so I
didn’t really need to relearn the basics), but I couldn’t find a video on how to accomplish what I
wanted to do. So, I turned to Youtube, and found a video that explains step-by-step how to
accomplish creating the desired results. So, after watching the video, I played it through side by
side with my GIMP workspace, and created my piece. I also decided that I would use shades of
blue because the poetry piece I imposed on her silhouette is about diving underwater, and I
wanted it to have that water-esque feel to it.
