Visual Stimuli- Responding to Music as opposed to Text

In the new semester our first task for Visual Studies was 'Visual Stimuli- Responding to Music as opposed to Text'. We were given the choice of 4 songs from various artists. And the purpose was to illustrate our interpretation of the song. the song i chose was 'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds' by the Beatles. When listening to this song i felt like it belongs to a transcendence into the sky.                 I used Photoshop to create a page of blue sky and cloud splodges. i used the blur and smudge tool to create the effect of the clouds fading out. i added a bunch of colors into the clouds, and blurred them out into the clouds too. We also had to have our own face in the image, but it had to be subtle. to do this i imported an image, live traced it and lowered the opacity. it was all really basic, and incredibly quick. I spent around 45 Minutes playing around with this. I also saved a copy of the image, with inverted colors to see the effect it had visually.
