My fictional band, Coven, is a gothic female rock band, based out of Salem, MA. I was inspired by all things Salem. I was actually in Salem this week for a day so it really helped inspire me for this project. The first thing I started with was images of nature. I wanted to use a stormy ocean and foggy creepy forest. Then I wanted to incorporate some things you think of when you think of witches and the occult (the pentagram, candles, and the arm with snake & apple). I added in the guitar to show music was an element. The background image is a photograph I took a few years ago on a stormy day in Maine. From there I added in the other 7 images as layers. I worked with each layer until I was content with how it looked in the overall composition. I used my knowledge from the Lynda.com videos as well as watching a few other tutorials online.
Below are the links to the images I used in my photomontage.
