Every high schooler looks forward to graduation. It's a bittersweet moment where you and your friends come together to celebrate 12 years of hard work, cooperation, teamwork, and friendship. It makes the real transition into adulthood, as people either enter the workforce, the military, college, or other plans.
My idea originally centered around the turning of the tassel. Upon sketching out this idea on paper, I realized it was much harder to have the hand be the main focus of the layout. What is another significant part of graduation? Throwing the cap! Having the hand/cap be the center of my layout would better focus on the hands at graduation. Often, graduations are held in the evening, in front of the football bleachers (at least they are here). Because of this, I opted for a blurry, blue, and vibrant background. I added camera flashes, silhouettes, and other elements to better sell the idea of bleachers in the evening. |
