Lyrical Collage

Above is my final Lyrical Collage. I chose a country song titled, "Live Like You Were Dying" by Tim McGraw. This song is very special to me and the lyrics are absolutely beautiful and inspirational. This song does relate to my life personally, when I was given the horrific news that my father had cancer. He was the one who introduced this song to me and ever since, we have decided to live our lives the same way. Instead of wallowing in self pity and letting the days just pass by, everyone should live each day as if they were to die tomorrow.

"I went skydiving.

I went rocky-mountain climbing,

I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu

And I loved deeper, 

And I spoke sweeter, 

And I gave forgiveness I'd been denying,

And he said someday I hope you get the chance

to live like you were dying." 

Below are the images which I extracted and edited to create my final picture. I used tools including the magnetic lasso tool, the quick selection tool, the eraser tool, the smudge tool, etc. I also adjusted the opacity of some of my images as well as resized, scaled, and rotated some.
