The inspiration was the album cover because it has this gradient of his head into the moon that has similar colors as my photo. I was also inspired by the lyrics of the song:
"They got me thinkin I ain't human, Like I came in from above, above, above, above Feelin' like a bird sittin' high high I be that man on the moon I'm that man on the moon And i'm a do what I do" What I did in photoshop to create this photo was I changed the background so that it was a gradient and every photo that I added would have the same tones. I also used the magic eraser tool to get rid of the background of the photo of Jordan so that it was just him. Then I copied the photo of Jordan 6 times so that it would be symmetric. I then changed the opacity of each of the layers so it looked like he was fading. I also took a photo of the moon off the internet and then I put my photo of flowers over it and created a layer mask so that it looked like they were blended together. The reason that I wanted to put flowers in is because I thought that they represented life and that Jordan feels disconnected for that because in the song he says that he doesn't feel human. Thats also the reason I wanted him to be fading because his like fading from reality and wants to live on the moon isolated. |
